According to the organizers, the annual meeting would inform members of the association and interested parties of logistics routes to Myanmar, particularly the ones from Mae Sot to key destinations including Yangon. In addition, various logistics related products from manufacturing and insurance companies will be showcased at the venue. 

In order to help its members familiarize themselves with the routes, the association on December 2nd - 8th will organize a caravan trip exploring the passages from Mae Sot to Yangon.

According to Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha's national televised address on January 23rd, 2015, the government’s policy on the establishment of special economic zones would promote connectivity and regional economic development on a sustainable basis.
