Vietnam Logistics Forum is an annual event organized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade since 2013 to coordinate activities to promote the development of logistics services, create a connection between logistics and manufacturing and import-export industries, and is also a place for dialogue and updating information on urgent issues of logistics services in Vietnam and the world.
Since 2017, the Forum has become one of the 60 tasks stated in Decision 200/QD-TTg dated February 14, 2017 of the Prime Minister promulgating the Action Plan to enhance competitiveness and develop Vietnam's logistics services by 2025, and was reaffirmed and assigned to the Ministry of Industry and Trade for implementation in Decision 221/QD-TTg dated February 22, 2021.
Vietnam Logistics Forum 2024 will be the 12th Forum. Through 11 previous events, the Forum has received the attention and appreciation of Government leaders, ministries, localities, and enterprises, becoming a prestigious and familiar brand for the logistics business community at home and abroad; is an address that brings together state management agencies, logistics enterprises, manufacturing and import-export enterprises to exchange and dialogue on current issues of the logistics sector in Vietnam and propose solutions to improve the business environment for this service industry. Since 2018, the Forum has been attended and chaired by a Politburo member, with the participation of leaders of many ministries, localities, associations and enterprises.
This year’s forum is held in a context with many new features. The implementation of bilateral, multilateral and new-generation free trade agreements requires businesses to make efforts to improve their competitiveness.
In addition, the world economy in 2024 is forecast to continue to face many difficulties and challenges. Increasing geopolitical tensions, complicated and prolonged military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, escalating conflicts in the Gaza Strip, and attacks on shipping activities in the Red Sea have affected the global supply chain.
Along with that, the explosive growth trend of e-commerce and cross-border e-commerce, along with the increasing demand for green logistics and sustainable development, is both an opportunity and a challenge for the Vietnamese logistics service industry.
In the context of the world still having many unstable factors, opportunities and challenges intertwined, organizing the Vietnam Logistics Forum 2024 to discuss, propose and recommend implementing many solutions to develop logistics services needs to be identified as one of the key tasks in the country's economic development.
2024 is also the sprint year for ministries, branches and localities to focus resources, remove difficulties and obstacles to complete assigned tasks to achieve the goals of developing logistics services set out in Decision No. 221/QD-TTg dated February 22, 2021 of the Prime Minister amending and supplementing Decision No. 200/QD-TTg approving the Action Plan to improve competitiveness and develop Vietnam's logistics services by 2025.
At the same time, prepare to complete and promulgate the Vietnam Logistics Services Development Strategy for the period 2025 - 2035, with a vision to 2050, with major orientations and breakthrough solutions to continue to take advantage of opportunities, turn Vietnam's logistics services industry into a spearhead service industry, and improve the competitiveness of goods in particular and the economy in general.
Therefore, in order to continue implementing the Prime Minister's direction in Decision No. 200/QD-TTg dated February 14, 2017 and Decision No. 221/QD-TTg dated February 22, 2021, of the Government in Resolution No. 163/NQ-CP dated December 16, 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Trade organizes the Vietnam Logistics Forum 2024 to establish a coordination mechanism and regular dialogue between state management agencies and domestic and foreign logistics enterprises, creating a close connection and promoting logistics growth with production and import and export of goods.
