Digital Trade is the Future of ASEAN Logistics

AFFA was proudly represented by Mr. Basilio Araujo, Director General (DG) of AFFA, at the ASEAN–Vietnam Logistics Forum 2026, where he shared AFFA’s vision on building “One ASEAN, One Trusted Digital Trade Future.”

Digitalization is no longer an option—it is the foundation for a more connected, transparent, efficient, and resilient regional supply chain. The adoption of digital trade, electronic transport documents (eBL), interoperability, and trusted cross-border data exchange will strengthen ASEAN’s competitiveness and facilitate seamless trade across the region.

Representing AFFA, Mr. Basilio Araujo reaffirmed AFFA’s commitment to working closely with governments, industry stakeholders, and international partners to accelerate digital transformation, enhance logistics connectivity, and build an integrated ASEAN supply chain that supports businesses, communities, and sustainable economic growth.

Together, we are building a stronger, smarter, and more trusted ASEAN logistics ecosystem.

Strengthening ASEAN Connectivity, Shaping the Future of Logistics

It was a privilege to welcome fellow leaders of the ASEAN freight forwarding community to Batam, Indonesia, for the AFFA Council Mid-Year Meeting 2026.

As global supply chains continue to evolve amid geopolitical challenges, digital transformation, and sustainability commitments, ASEAN has an unprecedented opportunity to strengthen its position as one of the world’s leading logistics hubs.

Through constructive dialogue and close collaboration, AFFA remains committed to advancing:
• Regional logistics connectivity
• Trade facilitation and seamless cross-border movement
• Digital transformation and innovation
• Multimodal transport integration
• Human capital development
• Supply chain resilience and sustainability

With the ASEAN logistics market projected to reach USD 390 billion by 2030, our responsibility extends beyond supporting trade—we must help shape a more connected, resilient, and competitive regional logistics ecosystem.

My sincere appreciation to all AFFA member associations, ALFI, our partners, sponsors, speakers, and delegates for their valuable contributions and unwavering commitment.

Together, through collaboration, trust, and innovation, we are building a stronger ASEAN logistics community for the benefit of our region and the global economy.

The future of ASEAN logistics is not only about moving goods efficiently—it is about connecting economies, creating opportunities, and strengthening prosperity across our region.
