Thailand and Australia are advancing their collaboration in transport infrastructure and sustainable logistics practices, with a focus on enhancing supply chain efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. During a recent meeting in Bangkok, Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport, Suriya Jungrungreangkit, and Australian Ambassador to Thailand, Angela Macdonald, discussed initiatives aimed at boosting both countries’ logistics capabilities.
A major topic of discussion was the Southeast Asia Investment Financing Facility, an Australian government initiative designed to stimulate investment in key infrastructure projects across the region. This initiative will play a vital role in strengthening the logistics and supply chain networks, helping to improve the flow of goods across Southeast Asia and further integrate the region’s markets.
Both nations also reaffirmed their commitment to supporting sustainable logistics solutions, particularly in reducing carbon emissions from the transport sector. The Thai Ministry of Transport highlighted ongoing efforts to transition public buses to electric vehicles, an important step in enhancing the country’s green logistics initiatives. By addressing issues such as climate change adaptation and disaster resilience in infrastructure development, the two countries aim to make transport systems more efficient and future-proof.
Additionally, both nations are working together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the marine transport sector, an area that is critical for supply chains globally. This collaboration will not only help strengthen green shipping routes but also contribute to more sustainable and cost-effective logistics operations across the region.
As Thailand positions itself as a regional hub for trade and transport, these partnerships are expected to enhance supply chain resilience, improve infrastructure, and unlock new trade opportunities. The collaboration promises a more sustainable future for logistics and transportation in Southeast Asia, driving growth, innovation, and competitiveness across the region.
