INTRODUCTION

VLF 2023 is held in the context of several notable new features. The implementation of bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements in the current context requires businesses to make efforts to improve their competitiveness. The Covid-19 epidemic has been controlled, but the socio-economic impacts after the pandemic, along with the war in Ukraine has caused supply chain disruptions, reduced demand for goods, and had a strong impact on all businesses in general and logistics service businesses in particular. The Ministry of Industry and Trade is working closely with other ministries, branches and localities to focus on removing difficulties, promoting production and export of goods, thereby effectively taking advantage of new FTAs, reducing damage caused by epidemics and quickly restore growth momentum.

The Vietnam Logistics Forum is an annual event organized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade since 2013 to promote the development of logistics services. It aims to establish strong connections between logistics, manufacturing, and import-export activities. Additionally, it serves as a platform for dialogue and updates on crucial issues related to logistics services in Vietnam and globally.
Building on the success and reputation of the forum, in 2023, H.E Tran Tuan Anh, a member of the Politburo and Head of the Central Economic Commission, will attend and provide guidance at the forum.

Raise awareness about the role of applied logistics in agriculture and digital transformation in the logistics industry.
Propagate
Promote logistics businesses to apply progressive and modern technology in supply chain operations.
Motivation
Finding solutions to improve competitiveness for the Mekong Delta.

FORUM 2023 MISSION

The Viet Nam Logistics Forum 2023 adopts the theme "Logistics and Digital Transformation for the Mekong Delta." These are also the topics of The Viet Nam Logistics Report 2023, which will be unveiled at the Forum.
