In order to achieve the target, the plan specifies 49 tasks which are associated with the roles of ministries, sectors and localities and divided into task groups closely related to the 6 LPI indicators. These include a task group on upgrading infrastructure; improving delivery capabilities; improving capacity and quality of logistics service provision; applying technology and optimising traceability; cutting time and costs; and improving customs clearance efficiency.
