FSI General Director Doan Huy Thuan presented the company's extensive ecosystem, encompassing over 50 products, saying that FSI offers digital solutions for the logistics sector with outstanding advantages.
Vietnam and Laos share a borderline of over 2,330km with a total of 33 active border gates, including 9 international, 6 main and 18 auxiliary border gates.
Border trade plays a crucial role in bilateral economic relations, accounting for up to 90% of the total trade value between the two nations.
Despite this strong foundation, the overall trade turnover between Vietnam and Laos currently represents only a small fraction of their global trade activity. Laos' total import-export volume sees Vietnam contributing just 10%, while Vietnam's global trade involvement reflects minimal engagement with Laos (0.2%).
One of the key constraints hindering expansion of bilateral trade is the high cost of logistics compared to competing countries.
Under the bilateral trade agreement signed on April 8, 2024, both countries agreed to adopt information technology in customs procedures and statistics collection. This presents an effective solution to address the high logistics costs, potentially leading to shorter processing times, reduced business expenses, and increased transparency.
