Strengthening Multimodal Transport Collaboration

During their visit, the Thai delegation and their Vietnamese counterparts discussed port operations, logistics systems, and the transportation of transit goods, oversized cargo, and dangerous goods.

The delegation also explored opportunities for collaboration in multimodal transport, aiming to strengthen logistics connectivity between Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam.
