(ĐN)- On July 25, Department of Foreign Market Development (DoFMD) under the Ministry of Industry and Trade chaired the Logistics Forum 2025, themed “Logistics solutions for a stable and sustainable supply chain” in HCM city.

The event gathered representatives from logistics, transportation, and import-export enterprises from Vietnam and China, along with the European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (EuroCham), industry associations, and trade promotion organizations from HCM city, Dong Nai, and neighboring provinces.

Deputy Director General Nguyen Thao Hien delivers opening remarks at the forum.

The forum aimed to foster dialogue, connection, and collaboration between regulatory agencies, logistics providers, and import-export businesses amid global economic fluctuations and mounting pressure on global supply chains. These developments call for efficient, adaptive, and environmentally friendly logistics solutions.

Speaking at the forum, Deputy Director General Nguyen Thao Hien of DoFMD noted that Vietnam’s economy is expanding despite operating in a highly volatile global environment. Consequently, the logistics sector is facing numerous challenges, which require businesses to transform and diversify their service delivery capacities through multimodal logistics operations. At the same time, the government and localities must increase investment in transport and logistics infrastructure to improve service quality and adaptability in the face of rapid change and uncertainty.

Experts share insights during the forum's discussion session.

Throughout the program, experts and delegates shared perspectives on developing logistics services that can respond to evolving international trade policies. They also exchanged insights on China’s experience in port development and logistics connectivity, discussed trans-Eurasian multimodal transportation, and explored sustainable and efficient port models. Furthermore, the discussion emphasized optimizing logistics costs while aligning with environmental and social objectives.
