iii) Need co-operation between countries, especially to assist developing countries
Developing human resources through training and education is important to both the public and
the private sectors. Co-operation between countries by establishing a database covering various
aspects of logistics systems in a region (e.g. statistics, public policies, best practices, etc), and having
periodic seminars to exchange experience and new ideas would benefit this.
The lack of logistics knowledge and policies in many developing countries could lead to
bottlenecks in economic development. Developed countries need to facilitate human resources training
in developing countries by dispatching their logistics experts to establish and develop logistics training
courses in these countries. Dispatching experts will not only benefit these countries by developing
human resources but also promote the provision of important logistics facilities that could play a
crucial role in the harmonisation of intermodal operations.
