The newly opened Viettel Logistics Park has a total area of over 143 hectares. The total investment capital is nearly 3,300 billion VND, with the capacity to clear about 1,500 vehicles/day (twice the current).
The data system is directly connected to Vietnam and China customs data, ensuring optimized operational processes, reducing customs clearance processing time from 4-5 days to less than 24 hours.
Customs clearance costs are reduced by 30-40%, increasing the efficiency of refrigerated container trucks transporting fruit from 2.5 trips/month to 4-5 trips/month.
At the opening ceremony, Mr. Ho Tien Thieu - Chairman of Lang Son Provincial People's Committee - said that Lang Son plays a strategic gateway role connecting trade between Vietnam and China, bordering the Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi, China) - China's leading agricultural logistics center and 5 northern provinces of Vietnam.
“Not only is Lang Son an important domestic transit point, it is also a trade bridge between ASEAN and China.
The Vietnam-China border trade market, especially between Guangxi and Lang Son, is developing strongly, becoming a potential logistics area for businesses.
In order to promote import and export activities, the People's Committee of Lang Son province has implemented many support policies, creating favorable conditions for businesses when trading through border gates in the area," Mr. Thieu expressed.

The head of the People's Committee of Lang Son province added that the cargo transit area project located in the Dong Dang - Lang Son border gate economic zone is one of the province's key projects.
Project to store, preserve, classify and pack import and export goods according to international standards and quality.
From optimizing freight transport, solving overload at border gates, and shortening customs clearance time, Lang Son will become the foundation for national logistics infrastructure.
Major General Tao Duc Thang – Chairman and General Director of Viettel Group – reviewed some key features of the military's contributions to economic development.
“With three functions of the army: combat army, labor army, production army. Today, with over 100 military enterprises, we have created 6-7% of the national GDP, paid over 3 billion USD to the budget, and generated annual profits of 3-4 billion USD.
In particular, we have been assigned many tasks by the Party and the State to build and develop infrastructure, as well as develop key economic sectors," Mr. Thang stated.

He added that logistics costs still account for 16-18% of the cost of goods, while in the world it is only about 10%. Therefore, modern, synchronized logistics centers will gradually remove bottlenecks, reduce costs as well as customs clearance time, aiming to reduce to 24 hours.
Besides Viettel Lang Son Logistics Park, Viettel leaders believe that there should be large-scale, modern, green-oriented logistics projects across the country, for example in Lao Cai, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Ninh, Tay Ninh or associated with new projects such as Long Thanh airport, Vung Ang port.
