#34: The logistical infrastructure and trade flow development in the CLMV Sub-region
Oct 09, 2023 Season 1 Episode 34
AHK Vietnam

The logistical infrastructure and trade flow development in the CLMV Sub-region is a topic of great interest and importance for the economic integration and cooperation of Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. These four countries share common challenges and opportunities in terms of connectivity, competitiveness, and sustainability. The development of logistical infrastructure and trade flows can enhance the efficiency and resilience of their supply chains, reduce trade costs and barriers, and increase their access to regional and global markets. The CLMV Sub-region has made significant progress in improving its logistical infrastructure and trade flows in recent years, but there is still room for further improvement and harmonization. 

 In this episode, Marko Walde, Chief Representative of AHK in Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos will talk to the industry experts: 

Carsten Schwenke, General Manager, Rhenus Vietnam

Michael Wilton, CEO & Managing Director, MMI Asia Pte. Ltd.

 We will hear their interesting points of view on some of the key challenges and solutions including upgrading the quality and capacity of transport networks, especially roads, railways, and ports; facilitating cross-border trade procedures and customs clearance; strengthening the coordination and cooperation among relevant stakeholders, such as governments, private sector, development partners and civil society; and promoting the adoption of digital technologies and innovation to improve the transparency, security, and traceability of logistical operations and trade flows.
