CLMV Business Forum discusses solutions to strengthen supply chain connectivity

Business representatives from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Viet Nam gathered for a forum focused on strengthening regional supply chain connectivity amid shifting global trade patterns.

Participants discussed practical obstacles to cross-border sourcing, including inconsistent product standards, limited direct transport links, and gaps in trade financing available to small and medium enterprises.

Several business associations proposed a shared directory of CLMV suppliers to help companies identify sourcing partners within the region rather than relying solely on external suppliers.

[Phòng Thương mại và Công nghiệp Myanmar], which co-hosted the forum, said follow-up working groups will be formed to take forward the most actionable proposals.

Organisers said the forum reflects growing business interest in deeper intra-CLMV trade as companies seek to diversify supply chains.
