Background
The National Logistics Council convenes inter-ministerial meetings under the chairmanship of the First Deputy Prime Minister to coordinate national logistics policy and cross-agency planning. On 8 July 2026, Secretary of State Dr. Sek Bunna of the Ministry of Health participated in the council’s 11th meeting held in Phnom Penh.
Agenda items for the meeting included collection of operational logistics indicators (referred to in the meeting as Logistics 2.0), development of a Logistics Dashboard, and review of a draft law on logistics. A Logistics Dashboard is a centralized information platform designed to aggregate operational indicators for interagency monitoring and decision-making across public and private logistics actors.
Key Developments
The 11th National Logistics Council meeting reviewed three priority tasks: (1) collection of operational logistics indicators, (2) preparation of a Logistics Dashboard, and (3) consideration of a draft logistics law. The meeting was presided over by First Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol, with participation from Minister of Public Works and Transport Pen Povina (chair of the National Logistics Committee), senior government officials, representatives from the Cambodia Chamber of Commerce, the Cambodian Logistics Association, technical staff, and private-sector delegates.
Institutional Role
The National Logistics Council functions as the principal inter-ministerial forum for coordinating logistics strategy and cross-sectoral initiatives at the national level. The National Logistics Committee, chaired by the Minister of Public Works and Transport, supports implementation and technical coordination among line ministries and industry stakeholders.
Implications for the Logistics Sector
The council’s review of operational indicators and a Logistics Dashboard reflects an emphasis on centralized data collection to inform policy and planning across agencies and firms. The draft logistics law under review is a formal step toward defining legal and institutional arrangements for logistics operations once it proceeds through the legislative or regulatory process.
