(VOVworld) – Cam Ranh international seaport was inaugurated on Tuesday. In his address, President Truong Tan Sang praised efforts by the Sai Gon port corporation, the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group and other relevant ministries and agencies to implement this project.

He said: “The sea plays a strategically important role in Vietnam’s national development and defense so the Party and state have devised a program to develop the marine economy alongside national defense and security. Cam Ranh international seaport should be developed as Vietnam’s leading deepwater seaport providing international maritime, logistics and ship repair services. Its development will contribute to Vietnam’s extensive international integration and foreign policy of openness, multilateralization, and diversification.”
