Logistics development study of the Greater Mekong Subregion North South economic corridor

The development of logistics services and communication technologies has revolutionized production and distribution processes, and has created the “global” market. It is within this competitive environment that shippers and consignees require efficient logistics services that can move their goods at the right place, at the right time, in the right condition, and at the right price. It is, therefore, of great importance that regional linkages among neighboring countries are strengthened in the Greater Mekong Subregion2 (GMS) in order to facilitate trade and develop logistics for better access into the “global” market. This is particularly true for the North South Economic Corridor (NSEC).
