The cabinet on Tuesday approved the new national logistics development plan (2023-27), aiming to reduce logistics costs to 5% of the country's GDP from 13.8% in 2021.
According to government deputy spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek, the plan also aims for Thailand to become the trading gateway to the region.
The plan focuses on five areas, including the development of transport infrastructure and facilities, such as a comprehensive transport network and logistics system between ports, railways, roads and airports linked with economic zones, important industrial areas and border checkpoints.
