Overview of the meeting

During the meeting, the leaders of both entities shared an overview of their port operations and services; they also discussed difficulties arising from the frequently silted-up Dinh An – Can Tho waterway, which does not accommodate larger vessels, and expressed a desire to promote logistics development and fully exploit the potential and advantages of this important transport route.

Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Truong Canh Tuyen, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Can Tho City, praised the positive contributions of the two companies in investing in and developing infrastructure and port services in Can Tho in recent times. He affirmed that dredging and recovering products from the Dinh An – Can Tho waterway to allow large vessels to enter the ports of Can Tho and others in the region is essential, helping to improve port utilization and increase the capacity of transportation ports in the area. The Chairman also noted that if the port system is well-invested and meets the demands of businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises in the city, it will benefit them and create momentum for the city’s and the region’s economic development.

Based on the proposals from the two companies, the Chairman asked the relevant departments to provide more information on legal issues, current status, and planning orientations for the two corporations. He also directed the Department of Construction to urgently compile and submit a report to the Ministry of Construction and Deputy Prime Minister for review.
