Đà Nẵng, which is situated in the central region of Việt Nam and at the end of the EWEC – linking Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Việt Nam, plays an important role as a main logistics centre in ASEAN and EWEC.

The city is a key logistics port for Việt Nam’s central provinces and the Central Highlands, as well as the EWEC.
