#34: The logistical infrastructure and trade flow development in the CLMV Sub-region

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.
