HCM CITY — The Logistics Association of HCM City has been officially established with its first congress, for the 2021 - 26 tenure, taking place on Thursday.
Vice Chairwoman of the municipal People’s Committee Phan Thị Thắng said HCM City views logistics as a main artery of its economy. Given this, the establishment of a logistics association in the city is an urgent need so that it can serve as the mouthpiece for local logistics businesses and accompany the city in future logistics development projects.
HCM City aims for growth rates of 15 per cent and 20 per cent in logistics services’ revenue by 2025 and 2030, respectively. It looks to raise logistics’ contribution to its gross regional domestic product (GRDP) to 10 per cent by 2025 and 12 per cent by 2030.
To that end, the southern economic hub will focus on three groups of key solutions: forming logistics centres; applying information technology, setting up a logistics ecosystem, and using common data for all enterprises; and striving to become a centre for logistics personnel training and provision in the southern region and the whole country.
All the above-mentioned solutions require close cooperation from logistics enterprises, Thắng said.
She requested that apart from developing export and import logistics, businesses and the association should pay due attention to the services serving domestic goods circulation, as well as the logistics infrastructure for e-commerce. — VNS
