DNHN - On January 29, the Hanoi Logistics Association (HNLA) and the Japan International Freight Forwarders Association (JIFFA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a partnership between the two associations for the benefit of their members.
On January 29, 2024, the Hanoi Logistics Association (HNLA) and the Japan International Freight Forwarders Association (JIFFA) officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a partnership aimed at creating beneficial opportunities for their members. According to the MoU, the two associations will carry out various cooperative activities, including technical and professional support, conducting trade surveys, and promoting multilateral cooperation.
The MoU signing ceremony took place in Hanoi, witnessed by Mr Atsushi Kaji, First Secretary of the Japanese Embassy in Vietnam, and representatives from the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, JETRO, the Import-Export Department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Vietnam Logistics Services Association, and the Hai Phong Logistics Association.
JIFFA, established in October 1985, currently has 524 members and actively promotes business activities in the field of international multimodal transport and international freight forwarding services, aiming to contribute positively to the community in Japan. Similarly, HNLA, a socio-professional organisation established by the Hanoi People’s Committee, aims to create professional connections between logistics and freight forwarding companies in Hanoi and the surrounding area, promoting the development of logistics services and enterprises, contributing to the socio-economic development of the capital.
Speaking at the event, Mr Tran Thanh Hai, Deputy Director of the Import-Export Department, Ministry of Industry and Trade, highly appreciated the capacity of Japanese logistics enterprises. He also emphasised that the market survey and business connection trip to Japan in September 2023, organised by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and Vietnamese logistics enterprises, demonstrated the desire for strong cooperation in the logistics sector between Vietnam and Japan.
Mr Tran Thanh Hai noted; “Today’s MoU signing ceremony is a concrete result of the trip and a significant step forward, enabling closer connections between enterprises from both sides.” He also expressed his hope that the Japanese Embassy in Vietnam, JETRO, government agencies, and JIFFA would participate in supporting and promoting Japanese investment in Vietnam’s logistics infrastructure, opening up new business opportunities for logistics enterprises of both countries.
Dr Le Quang Trung, Vice President of the Vietnam Logistics Services Association (VLA), also expressed his expectation that the cooperation between HNLA and JIFFA would promote Japanese investment in logistics infrastructure in Hanoi, thereby enhancing connectivity between transportation modes and strengthening the long-haul and short-haul transportation network, effectively supporting road transportation activities in the capital region.
