27 Dec 22 2 min read
Tran Thanh Hai, deputy director of the import-export department under the ministry of industry and trade (MoIT), urged enterprises to prepare for uncertainties in the context of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, natural disasters, diseases or unexpected incidents.
The logistics industry will be promoted through production, import and export. The drivers would come from transportation and information technology infrastructure development, enhancing the competitiveness of logistics companies and increasing linkages to make the country an important logistics hub of the region, a report in a top Vietnamese media outlet said.
Tax policies and fees would also be reviewed while customs procedures would be simplified to create favourable conditions for logistics services providers.
