A Strategic Bet On Vietnam’s Trade Trajectory
FedEx and Viettel Post Joint Stock Corporation formally announced the partnership on April 23, 2026, at a ceremony in Hanoi attended by Vietnam’s Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Sinh Nhat Tan. Under the agreement, Viettel Post assumed the role of National Network Provider for FedEx in Vietnam as of April 26, covering nationwide pickup and delivery operations within an enhanced logistics model designed to improve efficiency, flexibility, and service quality.
The deal gives FedEx access to Viettel Post’s nationwide infrastructure, including over 2,000 post offices, a fleet of roughly 2,000 delivery vehicles, and 12.9 million square feet of warehouse capacity, across all 34 of Vietnam’s provinces and cities. Viettel Post will undertake key operational responsibilities spanning end-to-end shipment pickup and delivery, first- and last-mile logistics, warehouse operations, and coordination of import-export customs clearance.
According to FedEx, the partnership is expected to process nearly 2 million shipments per year, moving more than 26,000 tons of goods across FedEx’s global network of more than 220 countries and territories. The scope of volumes involved makes this one of the more significant commercial logistics arrangements disclosed in Vietnam in recent years.
Viettel Post’s Growing International Role
Viettel Post is a core subsidiary of Viettel Group, one of Vietnam’s largest state-owned enterprises, with established operations in telecommunications, defence technology, and digital services. The logistics arm has been expanding its cross-border capabilities in parallel with Vietnam’s growth as a manufacturing and export hub.
Dinh Thanh Son, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Viettel Post, said the partnership marks an important step in the company’s evolution from strong domestic capabilities toward deeper integration with global supply chains. He added that Vietnamese businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, would gain more effective access to international markets through a more streamlined logistics chain aligned with FedEx’s global operational standards.
FedEx first established a direct-serve operating model in Vietnam in June 2025, launching dedicated freight capacity linking Ho Chi Minh City to Singapore and onward to Anchorage for the US market via a dedicated Boeing 777 freighter operating six times weekly. The Viettel Post partnership extends that infrastructure commitment into the country’s domestic last-mile network.
Vietnam’s Context: A USD 930 Billion Trade Market
Vietnam’s total import-export turnover exceeded USD 930 billion in 2025, reflecting its position as one of the fastest-growing trade hubs in Asia Pacific. The country has benefited from sustained manufacturing relocations and supply chain diversification by global companies seeking alternatives to sole dependence on Chinese production. Cross-border e-commerce has also grown considerably, creating structural demand for reliable last-mile and customs-integrated delivery infrastructure.
Masamichi Ujiie, President of FedEx North and South Pacific, described Vietnam as a strategically important market in the company’s regional growth strategy. Vietnam’s Deputy Minister Nguyen Sinh Nhat Tan said the collaboration would expand access for Vietnamese goods and businesses in the global market, contributing to elevating the country’s position in international supply chains.
The partnership follows FedEx’s broader Asia Pacific regional growth strategy, which has included investment in logistics infrastructure across the region as manufacturing flows recalibrate toward Vietnam, Indonesia, and other Southeast Asian markets.
