Vietnam is set to welcome a major international logistics event. The Vietnam Logistics Business Association (VLA) has announced that Vietnam has secured the right to host the FIATA World Congress (FWC) 2025. This event, dubbed the “Logistics Olympics,” is expected to bring significant international influence and economic opportunities to Vietnam.
The FIATA World Congress is an annual global logistics industry event with nearly a century of history. Held each September or October, it brings together 700 to 1,000 participants from the logistics, transportation, and freight forwarding industries, as well as observers and institutional representatives from related sectors. The congress provides an important platform for industry leaders and innovators to discuss challenges and future trends, share insights and solutions from top industry leaders, and foster exchange and cooperation among global supply chain participants.
FWC 2025 will take place from October 6 to 10, 2025, at the National Convention Center in Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital. The event has received high-level attention and strong support from the Vietnamese government. Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính has expressed his support, and the Ministry of Industry and Trade has approved the hosting of this event.
Đào Trọng Khoa, Chairman of the Vietnam Logistics Business Association, will represent Vietnam at the closing ceremony of the FIATA World Congress 2024, to be held in Panama from September 23 to 29, 2023. At the closing ceremony, he will receive the symbolic “Talking Stick” from the leadership of FWC 2024, officially marking the handover of the hosting rights.
As the host country, Vietnam anticipates that this event will bring multiple positive impacts. With approximately 1,000 delegates expected to attend, the congress will not only elevate Vietnam’s status in the international logistics field but also have far-reaching effects on the country’s socio-economic development.
For Vietnam, hosting the FIATA World Congress is an excellent opportunity to showcase the country’s development achievements and future potential. As one of the rapidly developing economies in Southeast Asia, Vietnam’s logistics industry has made significant progress in recent years. This congress will provide Vietnamese logistics companies with a platform to exchange and learn from international peers, helping to enhance the industry’s professional standards and international competitiveness.
At the same time, this international event will bring considerable economic benefits to Vietnam. Delegates from around the world will create business opportunities for related industries such as hotels, restaurants, and tourism in Vietnam. More importantly, through this event, Vietnam can demonstrate its advantages as an investment destination and logistics hub, potentially attracting more international investment and business cooperation opportunities.
Overall, the successful hosting of the FIATA World Congress 2025 will be an important milestone in the development of Vietnam’s logistics industry and a significant manifestation of Vietnam’s further integration into the global economy.
