Tay Ninh (VNA) – The People's Committee of southern Tay Ninh province on July 10 signed a memorandum of understanding on strategic cooperation with Singapore-based YCH Group to boost smart logistics, support exporters, and develop high-quality human resources in efforts to promote sustainable development.

Under the agreement, both sides will push forward a logistics project at the Moc Bai Border Gate Economic Zone, explore additional investments to modernise logistics infrastructure, and enhance infrastructure connectivity across the province. The partnership also aims to help local SMEs export via the firm’s YSG e-commerce platform, apply advanced technologies to optimise supply chains and reduce congestion, train a high-quality logistics workforce, and support the province's efforts towards net-zero emissions.

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Hong Thanh called the partnership a major milestone in strengthening Tay Ninh’s competitiveness and modernising logistics infrastructure, especially following its recent administrative merger with Long An province.

He reaffirmed Tay Ninh’s commitment to facilitating YCH’s projects and to achieving green and sustainable economic growth.

Dr. Yap Kwong Weng, head of Group Strategy, Sustainability, and Communications at YCH Group and CEO of Vietnam SuperPort™, expressed confidence in the long-term cooperation, emphasising the logistics infrastructure project's potential to boost not only the province's competitiveness but also trade flows between Vietnam, Cambodia, and the broader region.

The deal is expected to help local businesses better integrate into global supply chains, increase exports, and accelerate Tay Ninh’s transformation into a logistics and trade hub in the southeastern region, he noted.

YCH Group is a leading logistics solution provider, operating in over 100 Asian cities and serving top global brands across consumer goods, electronics, chemicals, healthcare, and e-commerce. In Vietnam, it is involved in major projects such as Vietnam SuperPort™ in Vinh Phuc and YCH Protrade in Binh Duong.

With its strategic location, Tay Ninh is positioned as a key gateway for goods transit among Ho Chi Minh City, the Southeast, the Mekong Delta, and Cambodia. The province is investing heavily in transport infrastructure, including expressways, belt roads, and inland waterway ports linked to major seaports and industrial zones.

The partnership is expected to make a breakthrough in logistics development and raise Tay Ninh’s profile in both regional and global economic landscapes./.
