On March 11th 2022, Bac Ninh Customs Department cooperate with Saigon Newport Cooperation holding the Enterprises Dialogue Conference 2022 at Kinh Bac Cultural Centre, Bac Ninh City
On March 11, 2022, at Kinh Bac Cultural Center, Bac Ninh city, Bac Ninh province, Bac Ninh Customs Department cooperated with Saigon Newport Corporation (SNP) to organize the "Enterprises Dialogue Conference 2022” with the goal of updating information on new policies, discussing solutions to support businesses in the area under the management of Bac Ninh Customs Department (including Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, and Thai Nguyen) in order to constantly reform administrative procedures and support and create favorable conditions for businesses.
On this occasion, SNP collaborates in the conference to propose and introduce green logistics solutions relating to Tan Cang - Que Vo ICD and the Que Vo – Hai Phong inland waterway transport connection route with the purpose of "bringing ports closer to the factory", helping businesses in the region save costs, time, be more proactive and convenient in forwarding procedures, contributing to promoting import and export activities.
The conference caught the attention of more than 600 delegates, representing businesses located in 3 provinces (Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Thai Nguyen), together with representatives of departments and agencies under the General Department of Customs. In the context of the complicated escalation of the pandemic, the form of face-to-face and online dialogue was applied for the first time, demonstrating the flexibility and creativity of the hosts to ensure timely updates to businesses while ensuring pandemic prevention regulations.
The Northern region is witnessing impressive developments in recent years, specifically with the throughput of container cargo at Hai Phong port cluster achieving an average growth of 15% in the past 5 years. According to international forecasters, thanks to the ability to control the Covid-19 epidemic well, the above output figure will increase thanks to FDI inflows. As of December 31th 2021, in the regions Bac Ninh Customs Department manages, there are 162 newly licensed FDI projects; 156 projects adjusted in scale, with registered capital of 2.98 billion USD; accounting for 12.2% of the total nation-wide investment. In the past year of 2021, the import-export container output of the provinces under the management of Bac Ninh Customs Department reached over 1.7 million TEUs, accounting for over 37% of the total regional output., making the triangle of 3 provinces become the leading investment attraction of the country.
Currently, in the Northern region, the mode of transportation from the factory to the port and vice versa is road transport – occupying up to 98% of the market share. This causes an overload for the road system, cost burden for businesses in remote provinces when they have to directly deliver and receive cargo at Hai Phong port cluster as well as other environmental problems due to the high level of discharge. Viet Nam has signed an international commitment to combating climate change and reducing CO2 emissions. Manufacturers, carriers, and importers-exporters need to choose a new and more environmentally-friendly transporting method. This is also a way to cut down logistics costs, increase proactivity in cargo coordination, ensure a smooth supply chain as well as import and export plans, especially during peak times when the cargo volume increases.

Forecasting for 2022 and the following years to be with difficulties and challenges, however, the three provinces of Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, and Thai Nguyen confidently continue to attract FDI projects with a sharp increase in quantity and quality, this proves the huge importance of improving the business investment environment.
