The forum, hosted by Quang Ngai, will give ministries, provinces, economic zones and researchers a chance to share their experiences and opinions on Vietnam’s strategy for the development of marine-based and coastal economic zones.

Specifically, speeches at the forum will focus on such issues as managing marine resources and islands, what is needed to create a nation that is strong in terms of sea ports, shipping and maritime transport, the important role of deep water ports, and experience in building marine-based economic zones.

On this occasion, Quang Ngai will highlight its socio-economic achievements and its Dung Quat economic zone, including a deep water port.
