Experts believe that the sustainable development of Viet Nam’s marine economy requires a comprehensive approach, closely combining modern marine spatial governance, the promotion of natural capital, the application of science and technology, and the effective mobilisation of domestic and international financial resources.

Viet Nam is determined to strictly, openly, and transparently handle all violations related to illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Pham Thu Hang affirmed at the ministry’s regular press conference in Ha Noi on November 6.

Chairman of the Can Tho municipal People’s Committee Truong Canh Tuyen highlighted local potentials and strengths during a working session on June 24 with a delegation from the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Viet Nam (AusCham) led by its Executive Director Edwin Law.

The sea and marine economy are not only the survival space of Tra Vinh Province but also hold strategic significance for its sustainable socio-economic development, national defence and security. In recent years, the province has placed particular emphasis on attracting investment to develop a modern, environmentally friendly marine economy.
