1 Key Drivers in ASEAN Supply Chain Connectivity Mr. Nguyen Van Thach Ministry of Transport Viet Nam

2 Contents I. Transport connectivity - key component in subregional and regional coorperations will bring opportunities for logistics development II. Logistics development in response to climate change III. Increase security and safety in logistics supply chain

3 I. Sub-regional and regional coorperations - ASEAN will become Economic Community in ASEAN Physical Connectivity To develop an integrated and wellfunctioning intermodal transport, ICT and energy networks in ASEAN - ASEAN Transport cooperation: - Hardware: ASEAN Highway, SKRL - Software: AFAFGIT, AFAFIST, Road map for Integration of Air Travel sector and Roadmap towards and Integrated and Competitive Maritime Transport in ASEAN.

4 UNESCAP cooperations Trans- Asian Railway includes 117,000 km of railway running through 28 countries The Agreement entered into force on 11/6/2009 up to now 22 signatories

5 UNESCAP cooperations The Asian Highway network is a network of 141,000 kilometers of standardized roadways crossing 32 Asian countries with linkages to Europe. The Asian Highway project was initiated in 1959 with the aim of promoting the development of international road transport in the region. ASEAN ASEAN members are also parties to this Agreement.

6 UNESCAP cooperations: Dry Port Agreement ASEAN- AUSTRALIA NEW ZEALAND FREE TRADE AREA (AANZFTA) ECONOMIC COOPERATION WORK PROGRAMME (ECWP)

7 Greater Mekong Sub-regional Cooperation (GMS) Transport is one key component in GMS economic cooperation There are 9 transport corridors, 3 main Economic Corridors: NS, EW and Southern Corridors; In the software side - the GMS-CBTA facilitates the movement of goods and people.

8 Transport Cooperations in the region All cooperations UNESCAP, ASEAN and GMS will bring the opportunity to: Integrated transport planning of the country with regional planning Hamonization rules and procedures Facilitate the movement of goods and people Application of ICT in cross-border transport

9 Free Trade Agreements At present, there are a number of Free Trade Agreements have been signed or under negotiation between ASEAN members and other partners: such as TPP, ASEAN EU FTA; Viet Nam have signed PCA with EU, Viet Nam and EU are negotiating FTA, in those agreements, there is commitments for market access and market opening. Service providers from ASEAN countries would have to compete with service providers from developed countries. This is a challenge as well as an opportunity for them to develop.

10 II. Logistics development in response to climate change Shift from road to rail and inland-waterway to reduce energy consumption and emissions Develop multimodal transport: combine land and sea routes, ro-ro ship Clean energy and green vehicles

11 II. Logistics development in response to climate change Shift from road to rail and inland- waterway Shift from road to rail and inland waterway transport -As for land transport, railway trans port outperforms road transport in terms of capacity, fuel consumption and emissions. - fuel consumption: road transport = 0.25L/T EU.km; railway transport = 0.1L/TEU km. (40% of road transport, and 0.4kg les s CO2 emis sion)

12 II. Logistics development in response to climate change

13 Logistics development in response to climate change

14 III. Increase security and safety in logistics supply chain After September 11 attack, safety and security is major concern in supply chain: - Apply of ICT: Container Tracking GPS, RFID Customs clearance technology: Risk management, Scanning machine Border crossing; Aviation safety: Hold baggage screening, cabin baggage screening including liquid ban, physical search of personnel or body scanning. Maritime: Improving maritime security and safety, protection of marine environment
