Participating in this event, the Vietnamese delegation hopes to widely promote FWC 2025 which will be hosted by the country to attract companies' participation; and approach logistics businesses in Belgium which hold strength in this field, as well as those from around the world.
Talking to the Vietnam News Agency’s reporters in Brussels, VLA General Secretary Nguyen Duy Minh said he hopes Vietnamese export service companies can enter into joint ventures with Belgian partners to establish a Vietnamese logistics center in Belgium, which, he believes, will be a very good opportunity to reduce transportation costs, contributing to introducing Vietnamese goods to Europe as well as transshipping them to Africa.
Assessing the prospects of the logistics field in Vietnam, FIATA Director General Stéphane Graber said he had just had a survey trip to this country last summer to prepare for the FIATA World Congress to be held there in the next two years.
According to him, Vietnam is applying the best practices in logistics development and has a real need for development, expertise, and internal training.
FIATA will coordinate with VLA to provide logistics training, he added.
