Under the agreement, effective April 26, Viettel Post will serve as FedEx’s national network provider in Vietnam.

This collaboration combines FedEx’s global expertise and technology with Viettel Post’s extensive domestic fleet and logistics network.

FedEx will leverage Viettel Post’s coverage to better serve Vietnam’s booming e-commerce sector, while Viettel Post will play a key role in last-mile delivery, warehousing, and customs clearance.

The partnership aims to create a seamless, reliable, and transparent cross-border logistics flow.

With Vietnam’s trade turnover surpassing US$930 billion in 2025, the direct integration of domestic infrastructure with FedEx’s international network is seen as vital for boosting export competitiveness.

Viettel Post deputy CEO Dinh Thanh Son said the cooperation will help Vietnamese small- and medium-sized enterprises access global markets more effectively through optimized logistics chains.

He emphasized Viettel Post’s commitment to upgrading operations to international standards.

Masamichi Ujiie, president of FedEx North and South Pacific, highlighted Vietnam as a strategic market.

Partnering with a trusted local operator reinforces FedEx’s long-term commitment and enhances service speed and flexibility.

The integration is expected to significantly shorten delivery times, extend pick-up cut-off times, and improve competitiveness for Vietnamese businesses.

Applying FedEx’s international tracking and management standards to Viettel Post’s operations is also expected to raise overall logistics service quality in Vietnam.
