news.xinhuanet/english/china/2014-11/06/c_133771048.htm - China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will accelerate negotiations on upgrading the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area (CAFTA) in 2015, said Assistant Chinese Commerce Minister Tong Daochi in Beijing on Thursday. He said the two sides launched their first round of negotiations on upgrading CAFTA in September of this year, and agreed to focus on key areas of trade in goods, service trade, dispute settlement and investment. Since countries differ in their economic development, we should maintain flexibility in negotiations to upgrade CAFTA and allow special treatment for the least developed ASEAN countries, he told a press briefing on Chinese Premier Li Keqiangs upcoming visit to Myanmar, where the premier will attend a series of leaders meetings on East Asia cooperation.
