Vietnam is entering a new stage of development, with the aspiration to become a modern, high-income industrialized nation by 2045, based on three pillars: independence and self-reliance, innovation, and deep international integration.

The second MOU was signed between the People's Committee of Hung Yen province, Hung Yen Investment and Development Group Joint Stock Company, Marex Financial (UK), Avenir LNG Limited (Bermuda), and VTB. The content focuses on researching and developing a complex of seaports, airports, logistics, and industries in Hung Yen, linked to a clean energy axis. The focus of the cooperation is on the LNG chain, encompassing the reception, transportation, storage, processing, and distribution of liquefied natural gas; researching options for electricity generation from gas; and integrating other renewable energy technologies to ensure a stable and environmentally friendly energy supply for the large-scale industrial and logistics zone. Planning, infrastructure assessment, legal framework, market, investment models, and coordination among stakeholders are also specifically outlined in this memorandum of understanding.

The signing of the two strategic cooperation memoranda marks an important step for Hung Yen in developing multimodal logistics, seaports, airports, and industries linked to green energy, in line with the country's orientation towards deep integration and sustainable development.
