In 2018, Vietnam stood at 39th position in the global LPI rankings.

Task groups include those on upgrading infrastructure, improving the distribution capacity, promoting the competence and quality of logistics services, maximising the ability to track and trace consignments, reducing performance times and costs, and enhancing the efficiency of customs clearance.
