PM Pham Minh Chinh has just approved a proposal from Haiphong authorities on developing Tien Lang Airport, which would be its second international airport following Cat Bi, in order to serve the city's socio-economic development.

The northern port city of Haiphong envisions setting up an inner-city free trade zone to drastically accelerate the city’s development.

Some National Assembly Deputies expressed their concerns about the establishment of a free trade zone (FTZ) in Hai Phong at a National Assembly Standing Committee session on October 11.
