5 hours ago | TTXVN

Following the administrative merger with Binh Duong and Ba Ria-Vung Tau provinces, Ho Chi Minh City has gained new advantages for developing its seaport system, creating favourable conditions for the growth of logistics, port services, international trade, maritime services and the coastal economy. Under the 2026–2030 Action Plan for implementing the national import-export strategy, the city has identified investment in logistics infrastructure as a key priority. Resources will be mobilized to increase the volume of import and export cargo handled directly through its network of seaports, airports, railway terminals and inland container depots (ICDs), with the aim of improving competitiveness and reducing logistics costs.
