Boosting Seaport Cooperation with South Korea

The Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) in partnership with the Port of Pyeongtaek and the Pyeongtaek Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office of South Korea organised a workshop on advantages of Pyeongtaek to Vietnamese businesses in Hanoi on April 21, 2015.

 

Speaking at the meeting, VCCI Deputy President Doan Duy Khuong appreciated the cooperation between enterprises in the two countries to promote trade in goods through the Port of Pyeongtaek. To do this, the Port of Pyeongtaek needs to strengthen promotion and introduce its potential, position and preferential policies for shipowners and shippers in Vietnam.

 

Pyeongtaek is a city in Gyeonggi Province, about 80 km southwest of Seoul City. This is a young city with modern economic and education facilities. The Port of Pyeongtaek is the fifth largest general port in South Korea, serving the needs of Central South Korea and Seoul City where more than 100 industrial zones are located.
