Conference delegates

According to the Department of Domestic Market Management and Development, Vietnam currently has over 25 international border gates, more than 40 main border gates and dozens of secondary border gates/openings. Many key border gates have been upgraded and applied modern customs clearance technology.

Some logistics centers and cold storages have been established in Lang Son, Lao Cai, Quang Ninh, Tay Ninh, An Giang , Gia Lai, etc. However, the border logistics system is not strong enough, scattered, and lacks multimodal connections.

Many provinces have established a system of border markets to serve the exchange of goods and the lives of residents. However, the infrastructure is not yet uniform, the scale is still small, and many markets are not yet connected to supporting infrastructure such as warehouses and logistics.

Speaking at the conference, Deputy Director of Tay Ninh Department of Industry and Trade Chau Thi Le said that Tay Ninh is a province with many outstanding potentials in border economic development thanks to its strategic location adjacent to the Kingdom of Cambodia. In the first 7 months of 2025, the import-export turnover of goods with Cambodia was over 2 billion USD, accounting for 11% of the total import-export value of the province, up 17% over the same period.

At the conference, experts from central ministries, branches, associations and enterprises shared, discussed and comprehensively analyzed key issues in developing Vietnam's border trade. In particular, delegates emphasized the importance of completing the system of border gates, border markets and logistics infrastructure as a foundation to shorten customs clearance time, reduce costs and increase competitiveness for Vietnamese goods.

Business representatives speak at the conference

In addition, representatives of Associations and enterprises shared experiences in developing distribution systems in border areas and practical import-export activities. If we exploit the advantages of agricultural product supply well, combined with expanding the consumption market across the border, Vietnam will not only solve the output problem for farmers but also create more added value, promoting sustainable development./.
