INTRODUCTION

Recently, Vietnam has been actively researching free trade zones around the world. This type of economic zone can bring many benefits to Vietnam, contributing to the development of logistics services. Currently, Vietnam does not have a free trade zone. Recently, Da Nang City was approved by the National Assembly to pilot the establishment of a free trade zone, serving as a basis for testing new policies and laying the groundwork for legalizing regulations on free trade zones nationwide
In the context of Vietnam’s deep integration into the regional and global economy, active participation in free trade agreements, and with its geopolitical advantages, researching and proposing the establishment and development of free trade zone models should be prioritized to seize opportunities. This will contribute to providing the Vietnamese logistics sector with more opportunities for development and deeper involvement in the global logistics supply chain.
To convey this message and gradually change the perception of government levels and businesses regarding the establishment, investment, and development of free trade zones to promote trade, investment, and international economic integration, the Viet Nam Logistics Forum 2024 is themed "Free Trade Zone - A breakthrough to shape logistics growth". This will also be the theme of 2024 announced at the Forum.

Viet Nam Logistics Forum hosted by the Ministry of Industry and Trade has been organized as the largest annual logistics event in Viet Nam since 2013. Vietnam Logistics Forum 2024 is organized on 01 – 02 December 2024 in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province by the Ministry of Industry and Trade in collaboration with People’s Committee of Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province.
