“Viettel Post’s success is thanks to combining electronic commerce with traditional postal services,” Trần Trung Hưng, general director of the company, said.
It has 1,300 post offices around the nation and 17,000 staff.
It also offers international and domestic express delivery services, logistics and other related services.
Since July this year it has been managing 1,000 telecom shops and 6,000 delivery spots.
It is the only company to offer express delivery services to Cambodia and Myanmar.
“Viettel Post plans to dramatically change its operations, especially from express delivery to logistics,” Hưng said.
