Sixteenth Meeting of the Subregional Transport Forum
24-25 October 2012
Opening Remarks
By
Mr. James P. Lynch

Director, Transport and Communications Division
Asian Development Bank
Your Excellencies, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen:

It is my sincere honor and pleasure to co-chair this 16th Meeting of the
GMS Subregional Transport Forum. I wish to thank the Republic of the
Union of Myanmar for graciously hosting this Forum, and for the excellent
arrangements for our meeting.
I particularly wish to thank His Excellency, Thura U Thaung Lwin, Deputy
Minister for the Ministry of Rail Transportation of Myanmar, for welcoming
us and opening our meeting today. I also want to thank U San Aung,
Director General, Transport Planning Department, Ministry of Rail
Transportation, for chairing the meeting.
Our meeting is a landmark event for a number of reasons. First, the year
2012 marks the 16th full year that the Subregional Transport Forum has
been in existence. The inception meetings for the Subregional Transport
Forum and the Subregional Electric Power Forum took place in April 1995
right here in Myanmar, specifically in Yangon. This is very significant
because these two Forums were the very first sectoral forums established
under the Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Cooperation Program, or
the GMS Program, which just celebrated its 20th anniversary last
September. The importance of the transport sector in promoting GMS
cooperation is undisputed, considering the dominant role of connectivity in
the programs overall strategy. This evening, we will share with you a
special retrospective presentation of the Subregional Transport Forum, its
origins, its achievements as well as its vision for the future.
The second reason why our meeting is very significant is that this year
marks the end of the Vientiane Plan of Action for GMS Development, or
better known as the VPOA, in which transport again plays a very crucial
role. The VPOA, which was endorsed and adopted by the GMS Leaders at
the 3rd GMS Summit in Vientiane five years ago, defined priority projects
and initiatives for the second half of the Ten-Year GMS Strategic
Framework. Under the transport component of the VPOA, most of the
remaining gaps in the GMS transport corridors were filled, and progress
was made in addressing software issues to facilitate the cross-border
transport of goods and people.
The third reason why todays Forum is a landmark event is that we will
initiate the preparation of a successor plan to the VPOA. As you may well
know, a new GMS Strategic Framework was endorsed and adopted by the
GMS Leaders in their 4th Summit held here in Nay Pyi Taw last December.
This new GMS Strategic Framework sets the stage for all of us to address
the complex challenges the GMS faces in the coming decade.
2
To support the implementation of the new GMS Strategic Framework, it is

necessary to translate its broad directions and thrusts into a pipeline of
new generation projects that will sustain GMS development over the next
ten years. The process of defining this new generation of projects will
shape the future GMS Regional Investment Framework or RIF, and the
meeting today will discuss some preliminary ideas and proposals for new
transport projects under the RIF.
The final reason why this 16th GMS Subregional Transport Forum is a truly
historic event is that it coincides with the momentous changes taking place
in our host country, Myanmar. The country is clearly moving toward greater
openness and liberalization. Myanmar has always been an important part
of the GMS. Its strategic location, straddling South and Southeast Asia,
affords it great potential in terms of trade, investment, agriculture,
manufacturing and servicesall of which can and will contribute to support
broad-based social and economic development.
Your excellencies, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, it goes

without saying that transport is an essential key to unlock Myanmars true
potential. But the challenge ahead is tremendous, and it is two dimensional
in nature. One dimension of the challenge is to tap the power of transport in
order to increase and strengthen domestic connectivity. The second
dimension is regional connectivitybuilding transport linkages between
Myanmar and its neighbors.
But there is also a third dimension of connectivity which can accelerate

Myanmars connectivity at both the domestic and regional levels, and this
third dimension is knowledge connectivity. Myanmar desperately needs to
connect to the knowledge and expertise in each of its GMS neighbors.
Every one of the GMS countries, from Cambodia, to the PRC, to Laos, to
Thailand and to Viet Nam, is a rich source of transport knowledge and
expertise which can be shared to strengthen Myanmars domestic and
regional connectivity. As we enter into the third decade of the GMS
Program, it is my I hope that this 16th Subregional Transport Forum will
initiate a process of knowledge connectivity in order to integrate Myanmar
more deeply into the GMS, and into the global economy.
I am very pleased to say that our meeting today, and particularly the
sessions tomorrow, provides a starting point for all of us to increase our
understanding of the key challenges and opportunities facing Myanmar's
transport sector. Our Subregional Transport Forum will also lay the
foundation for a three-dimensional approach to reconnect Myanmar with
the GMS and the global economy through domestic connectivity, regional
connectivity and knowledge connectivity.
Your excellencies, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, we certainly

have quite an exciting and challenging agenda ahead of us over the next
two days. This Forum will help define the scope, direction and actions of
cooperation in the GMS transport sector over the coming decade.
4
With these opening remarks, I would like to thank all of you for joining is
here in Naw Pyi Taw, and I truly appreciate Myanmars offer to host this
historical 16th GMS Subregional Transport Forum. I look forward to a very
interesting and productive meeting ahead of us. Thank you.

PROPOSED FORMAT
Country: LAO PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC
Guide Notes for the Final Report

Objective of the Final Report:
To provide the latest status of priority GMS transport projects, including those in the Vientiane Plan of Action for GMS Development (VPOA) (2008-2012)
(VPOA), and render an assessment of the progress of implementation of these projects as of the end of period of effectivity of the VPOA (i.e.,
2012).
Key Features of the Format (see following pages):
1. The present format has basically the same first 4 columns as in the previous format: (1) Project Name and Short Description, (2) Indicative Timeline,
(3) Estimated Cost, (4) Source/s and Status of Financing, and (5) Status/Progress of Implementation. However, under the first column, in addition to
the Project Name, it is requested that a short description of the project also be included. This description can include the key project components,
such as a certain number of kilometers of new road (of a particular type) from one place to another or road improvement (e.g., increase from fewer to
more lanes, change in type of surface, etc.), a bridge of a certain length, a tunnel, etc. Moreover, please note that the entries provided under the other
columns are those submitted by the countries at the last STF meeting (STF-15, Vientiane, Lao PDR, September 2011). The countries are now
requested to revise/update the entries based on most recent developments and information.
2. Since the report is the last one to be prepared for the VPOA, whose implementation period ends this year (2012), the present format contains an
additional column, Column 5 Overall Assessment. Under this column, the countries are requested to provide their assessment of the progress of
implementation of individual projects, including such information as:
Actual vs planned implementation schedule Has there been major delays against original planned schedule; the key reasons for such
delays, if any; how have the issues been addressed; what are needed further actions?
Major issues/problems encountered These could pertain to any stage of the project (e.g., preparation, implementation) and to any aspect
(e.g., financing, technical issues, institutional, environmental, social, etc.)
Follow-on actions required, if any What are the needed actions to accelerate project implementation, to ensure its completion, to address
collateral issues (e.g., environment, resettlement, etc.)?
Any other aspects/issues regarding the project.

This bridge facilitates the
movement of goods and people
between Laos and Thailand, and in
particular, from the Northeastern
Thailand to the Central Part of
Laos and the Central Part of
Vietnam.
In addition, the bridge serves as
the permanent link across the
Mekong River between Laos and
Thailand and opens to traffic every
day from 6:am to 6;00pm. Both
sides has considered to extend the
opening hours from 6;00 pm to
10;00 pm by the end of this year.
This bridge will provide an
alternative international transport
route in the sub-region provided
that the legal transport agreement
is in place.

Next Steps on Regional Investment Framework

Regarding Regional Investment Framework (RIF), a GMS Senior
Officials Meeting cum Regional Investment Framework Steering
Committee Meeting (SOM-RIF) was held on 13 September 2012
in Manila, Philippine.
During the meeting, the progress and next steps on the Regional
Investment Framework (RIF) process were discussed.
Initial sector assessments under phase 1 of the RIF had been
done for certain sectors, i.e, transport and logistics, urbanization,
power, migration, and HRD.
Some findings were presented at the 4th Economic Corridors
Forum (ECF-4) in June 2012, Mandalay, Myanmar. Follow-on
studies were underway for transport, logistic and trade.
The studies for at least 2-3 sectors were expected to be
completed by the time of 18th Ministers Conference.

Some measures for capacity strengthening were also expected to
be available for presentation by that Conference.
What would be presented for endorsement by the 18th
Ministers Conference were investment priorities and directions,
and not yet detailed investment pipeline which would be
targeted by end of the first quarter 2013.
ADB should put more emphasize on taking consideration for
Myanmar in the process the investment pipeline projects.
Myanmar is formulating regional and national plan for urban
development.

On the GMS East-West Economic Corridor, Myawaddy Trade Zone
was established and one economic zone to be established will
contribute to enhance connectivity for corridors in the region.
Myanmar proposed ADB to provide assistance for the urban
development sector.
Conclusion
Myanmar is trying to open as ASEAN Free Trade Area after
2015.
Preparation works are under processing to take the
responsibility as ASEAN President in 2014.
15nos of Working Committees were formed by Ministry of

National Planning and Development, and conducting the
necessary prepatory works.
Ministry of Construction is leading the Infrastructure
Development Committee.
Conclusion
Myanmar will develop its infrastructure and transport linkages by
technical and financial assistance of ADB as well as developed
partners.
As four GMS transport corridors pass through Myanmar, the GMS
Transport Strategy recommends that the development of GMS
corridors recognizes the centrality of Myanmar in linking
Southeast Asia to East and South Asia.
Engagement with Myanmar is offering the potential to complete
the missing links in the GMS corridors and to include Myanmar in
the forward investment framework of the GMS program.

Background information on
Existing railway
Railway operates over 2,600
route-km, comprising seven main
lines and several branch lines.
Network is all of single track with
1,000mm gauge (85.5%), 1,435
mm gauge and dual-gauge
sections.
VR has two divisions: Transport
and Infrastructure
VR is an independent SOE under
the government
24-25 October 2012

Issues
Lack of market orientation
Low utilazation of assets
Huge backlog of
infrastructure maintenance
Lack of modern business
tools
Inadequate financial/
performance agreement
between railway and the
government
24-25 October 2012
Master plan up to 2020

1. Development of railway transport:
Until 2020: Railway transportation should account for 13% in terms of the
demand on passenger transport and 14% in terms of the demand on goods
transport.
2. Infrastructure development
Until 2020: Completing the improvement and upgrading the existing railway
network to gain the standardized national railway Grade 1; completing the
linkage of railways with international ports such as Cai Lan, Lach Huyen,
Van Phong, Cai Mep - Thi Vai, and with industrial zones, mines and tourism
areas; striving for the completion of Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong railway
route and Hanoi - Dong Dang railway route; connecting with Singapore
Kunming Rail Link.
For new construction, railways with the standardized gauge 1,435mm should
be prioritized The Hanoi - Lao Cai route, Hanoi - Hai Phong route and Hanoi

CAMBODIA
Core issues include lack of road maintenance and

truck overloading. Periodic maintenance using
private sector contractors for pavement overlays
moving forward.
LAO PDR
Many road sections and bridges pose reliability risks

due to shortfall in funding of routine and periodic
maintenance. The Road Fund concept has taken
hold and showing signs of success.
MYANMAR
Lack of maintenance along most major road

corridors. Lack of bridge capacity at numerous large
river crossings. Inadequate road geometry on many
corridors. Lack of road connectivity to rural areas.

PRC
Major corridors served by existing and planned

expressways. Road corridors generally in good
operating condition and adequately maintained,
although roads in Yunnan funded at 70% of required
level.
THAILAND
Best developed and maintained road network in

GMS. Major corridor roads are high speed 4-lane
and 6-lane highways. Controlled access expressway
network development has not been developed.
VIET NAM
National roads absorb disproportional amount of

maintenance budget funding; little remains for
secondary roads. Traffic safety and coastal flooding
of highways are also core problem areas.

ADB Logistics Consultant
Role of Freight Transport

Ecient transfer on cargo between point of despatch
and point of delivery, either domestically or

internationally
Transport is a demand responder not a trac
creator but can have indirect impact on demand
based on eciency
Modal competition is based on service standards
which are in turn based on cost/time/reliability (C/T/
R) parameters
Competition in GMS is mainly within modes
rather than between modes
5/12/14
GMS Airfreight
Growing but volumes small
Only minimal intra-GMS trac
Demand concentrated mainly in
Thailand and Vietnam

Good international connectivity
GMS Mari;me Transport

Maritime transport not linear thus making trading
with distant markets as attractive as closer markets

Carries 90% GMS overall trade by weight with
volumes dominated by bulk shipments of oil and oil
products, coal, cement, steel and rice
Carries 75% of intra-GMS trade by weight due bulk
shipments, lower transport costs and dominance of
demand along seaboards
Major growth in size and reliability of container
services and ports (Laem Chabang and Saigon Port)
5/12/14
GMS Road Transport

Dominance of small entities with low performance
levels in many countries with shortage of large

modern transport eets, except in Thailand and to
lesser extent in Vietnam
High cost due to trac imbalances and choke
points
Lack of through transport is constraint but major
problem is limited demand for international
services and slow improvements in trade facilitation
GMS other transport modes

Rail
Not a major freight carrier due to limited
international connectivity
Not yet competitive in C/T/R terms
Inland Waterways
Important in movement of aggregates, raw
materials and rice in Vietnam, Cambodia
and Myanmar but limited application in
other countries
Problem of seasonal water levels
5/12/14
Implica;ons of assessment on GMS

corridor development concept
Busiest trade freight sections of GMS corridors tend to be
close to the ports

Maritime transport is and will continue to be dominant
even for intra-GMS trade despite high growth
Dominant role of road transport is feeding trac to and
from ports, rather than through land borders
Importance of connectivity between port and corridors
linked to industrial/manufacturing, agro-industrial centers
Consideration of concept of ports as gateways and
corridors as links along supply chains and concentrations
of demand
5/12/14
What is Logis;cs?
Logistics in about optimization of the Supply Chain
between producer and consumer

SUPPLY CHAIN

LOGISTICS

L

PRODUCER
STORAGE
TRANSPORT
STORAGE
CONSUMER

Distribution

Transport is not logistics, it is only a component within
logistics
Logis;cs
Logistics industry is demanddriven in that it
responds to a need created by their clients

Key component is inventory management rather
than transport. With advanced logistics transport costs
usually rise but are oset by savings in inventory
Trade logistics is the international sector of the industry
Eciency of international logistics can impact on
selection of supplier which is critical to GMS
3PLs seek to optimize cost/speed/reliability while
minimizing inventory, but balance will dier per
product
Reliability paramount in advanced logistics
5/12/14
Development of Global Logis;cs

Initial demand drivers have been the retail/supermarket
sector seeking to minimize front-end inventory
Benets then realized by industrial sector, particularly
auto and electrical industries

Logistics principally relates to higher value
products where inventory savings can be attractive
Growth in holding stock further up supply chain
central and regional warehousing
Outsourcing of responsibility to Third Party
Logistics Operators (3PLs)
3PLS
Domestic 3PLs usually major transport
companies extending activities along supply chain,

especially inventory control and added-value services
International 3PLs usually major forwarding
companies also extending activities along supply
chain
High investment in IT and sta to be competitive
Partnership arrangement with clients
Maximisation of integrated services
5/12/14
GMS Overview
Constrained domestic demand due lack of demand
drivers:
a strong retailing or manufacturing sector, with major
players capable of dictating delivery terms to their suppliers.

Small enterprises dominate
the presence of large multinationals
a willingness to outsource
Constrained domestic supply due to:

lack of demand, thus making it dicult to establish any real
market penetration
lack of awareness about logistics, as opposed to transport
dominance of small transport entities
GMS Overview
International logistics sector more advanced because
of external demand:
foreign manufacturers/multinationals establishing operations in
GMS familiar with outsourcing to 3PLs , many already have master

contracts
foreign buyers use advanced logistics systems to call o stock
from the suppliers using ex-works or depot trading terms to
control supply chain
foreign manufacturers engaged in processing use advanced
logistics calling in raw materials only on a JIT basis to their
production line
Suppliers mainly overseas 3PLS/forwarders due to:
lack of local resources and expertise too fragmented

Routing control lies with overseas customer
5/12/14
GMS country assessments

Cambodia
No signicant domestic sector due absence of demand drivers
Limited international sector , particularly in garments sector
Lao PDR
No real domestic sector due absence of demand drivers
Limited international sector , particularly in garments sector
Myanmar
No signicant domestic sector due to absence of demand drivers
Limited international sector due to lack of demand, probably
inuenced by sanctions meaning lack of international companies
establishing manufacturing links

Viet Nam
Small domestic sector in response to demand drivers such as
supermarkets, but only starting to evolve

International sector much more advanced due to demand drivers,
especially presence of multi-nationals and exports of higher value
manufactured products. Market dominated by international 3PLs
due lack of local resources and expertise
Thailand
Growing domestic sector in response to demand drivers, such as
supermarkets and multinationals
Advanced international sector due to presence of multi-nationals
and exports of higher value manufactured products. Market again

dominated by international 3PL but some national players evolving
5/12/14

PRC
Domestic sector slow to grow due combination of lack of
demand drivers, particularly willingness to outsource and

absence of 3PLs
International sector more developed but predominantly
related to non-PRC element of supply chain
GMS areas of PRC less developed as not major exporter of
high value products
Note
International logistics operators tend to be concentrated
close to the seaports because that is the primary area of
demand for their services
Key Development Issues

Logistical services are the domain of the private
sector because of the need for high customer service

orientation
Logistics industry will expand solely based on
demand for its services - it is not a demand creator
The logistics industry in most countries lacks recognition
and a strong organization structure capable of
representing the industry in its links with government
There is a need to encourage foreign operators, especially
joint ventures, to help build up a national capability
Some consolidation within the national transport and
forwarding sectors will be essential to establish entities of
sucient size to undertake 3PL services
5/12/14
Key Development Issues

Sector does not require further regulation as it
operates best in a lightly regulated environment

Sector will need to gradually diversify to handle more
types of product, rising prices may stimulate demand
Development of trade logistics within the region
using 3PLs is not an option but will be mandatory to
retain international competitiveness and
maintain trade growth
Problem of how to eectively integrate private sector
activity within GMS initiative

Inland Water Sub-Sector: Constraints

Budget allocation lower than other sub-sectors.
Fares and tariffs centrally fixed and not related to
costs.
Most port and dock facilities are simple river side
pontoons, with poor road access.
Maintenance dredging is inadequate, resulting in
limited all-weather operations.
Vessel repair facilities are typically very old and illequipped.

Institutional Structure and Capacity:

Constraints
Absence of an overall transport sector strategy
Fragmented institutional structure.
Centralized, top-down decisions not demand driven
or market-oriented.
Fares and tariffs centrally-fixed and often not related
to costs.
Limited capacity to assess economic viability of
projects.
Limited experience with safeguards and
procurement.
Limited capacity of private contracting industry.
A Comprehensive Transport Sector

Strategy is Needed
To harmonize future plans with the new State Constitution
To integrate plans of the different transport sub-sectors
To promote domestic connectivity and multi-modal
transport networks
To strengthen connectivity with neighboring countries
To promote greater private sector participation
To identify technical, financial, and human resource
requirements to implement strategy
To strengthen capacities and improve operational
efficiencies
5/12/14
Some actions required now

For the primary and secondary road network at least,
develop and implement a maintenance management
system based on network condition and needs - that
feeds into the Governments process
Seek development partner support for urgent rehabilitation
of critical road network links that will deteriorate rapidly as
economic reform leads to rapid increases in traffic
Develop a strategic approach to filling in the missing part
of the road network, the tertiary links between the core
network and rural communities that are essential for social
and economic development

v At
present there is an ongoing project for building a deep
seaport and a special Economic Zone at Dawei

(Myanmar). It is a BOT project with Italian Thai as
developer. The project includes road link as well as a rail
link from Kanchanaburi (Thailand) to Dawei deep seaport
(Myanmar). Since Dawei is the end of the Southern
corridor of GMS which passes Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom
Penh and Bangkok. This railway line could be expected to
play a much larger role in the regional transportation
network.
