Vietnam–Canada Drive Forward Cooperation in Logistics Investment and Supply Chain Connectivity

Strategic Partnership Deepens in Logistics Sector

Vietnam and Canada are intensifying collaboration in the logistics industry to strengthen supply chain integration, drive investment, and create greater market access for goods and services. Leveraging shared economic interests and technological capabilities, both nations aim to enhance bilateral trade and promote more resilient and efficient logistics networks.

Key Areas of Cooperation

1. Logistics Infrastructure & Investment

• Joint development of logistics parks and transport hubs: Canada’s advanced logistics know-how is being shared to support planning, construction, and operation of modern warehouses and distribution centers in Vietnam.

• Vehicle fleets and cold chain solutions: Through investment partnerships, both countries are working to improve cold storage, refrigerated transport, and fleet management systems within Vietnam.

2. Supply Chain Integration

• Connecting Canadian and Vietnamese exporters/importers: Leveraging digital platforms and logistic corridors to improve visibility, reduce transit times, and simplify documentation across borders.

• Digitization and process standardization: Collaboration to implement digital platforms for tracking shipments, customs clearance automation, and supply chain compliance.

3. Capacity Building & Training

• Training programs and peer learning: Vietnamese logistics personnel are being supported through workshops, certification courses, and exchange visits to share Canadian best practices.

• Regulatory alignment: Ongoing dialogue aims to harmonize customs procedures, quality standards, and certification protocols to ease export-import processes.

Why This Cooperation Matters

• Stronger bilateral trade: More efficient logistics systems will help reduce costs and improve delivery times for goods traded between the two countries.

• Diversified supply chains: By establishing alternative routes and hubs, Vietnam can strengthen its trade resilience and reduce dependency on single-route logistics.

• Economic growth: Modern logistics infrastructure attracts greater foreign direct investment (FDI), stimulates job creation, and supports Vietnam’s growing manufacturing and export sectors.

What’s Next?

• Public-private partnership (PPP) models are being explored to finance logistics infrastructure, warehousing, and cold-chain facilities.

• Pilot projects launching soon, including corridor optimization between Vietnam’s Pacific ports and Canadian entry points.

• Continued regulatory engagement: Both governments will work to streamline customs processes and remove operational bottlenecks in logistics operations.

Opportunities for Businesses

Vietnamese companies engaged in trade with Canada—or planning to—should watch for:

• Improvement in logistics efficiency that will reduce shipping times and costs.

• Easier access to certification and tracking systems that meet Canadian standards.

• Opportunities for joint ventures in warehousing, cold storage, and freight forwarding.

Canadian logistics firms can also benefit from:

• Entry into Southeast Asian markets by partnering with Vietnamese local operators.

• Shared training, IT systems, and warehousing solutions tailored to emerging markets.

Conclusion

The growing cooperation in logistics and supply chain infrastructure between Vietnam and Canada represents a strategic investment in the future of trade. It not only supports bilateral commerce but also deepens economic ties and builds more resilient, globally connected supply chains.

Businesses on both sides stand to benefit significantly from improved services, shared know-how, and closer operational alignment. This partnership is more than a commercial venture—it is a blueprint for future collaboration in a global economy.
