Abstract: In the period of 2011-2020, Vietnam has entered the 3rd strategic phase of Doi Moi (Renovation). That scientific bases are studied for making plans for distribution services in Vietnam in the context of integration not only comes from the internal development of such industry but it is also considered as a necessary requirement in implementing the national socio-economic development strategy. It is done by analyzing the main state orientations on improving the management of the distribution services as well as institutional framework and regulations, thereby discussing achievements and limitations in this field. As a result, in this article, the author has suggested some recommendations to the Government, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and local Departments of Industry and Trade to improve the distribution services management in Vietnam in the context of integration.
