Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) proposes designating May 6 as Vietnam Logistics Day, marking a historic nod to the sector’s pivotal role. Associated with the decree of President Ho Chi Minh in 1946 that resulted in the creation of the Supply Department, it will enhance awareness in the context of geopolitics and green-shifts causing global discontinuities in supply chains.
