The economy of Vietnam is expected to grow strongly with abundant and diligent labor resources. Hai Phong city has the largest harbor in Vietnam and receives export shipments from foreign companies. Acceleration of the production transfer from China with the influence of China-US trade frictions has also promoted further development in Vietnam.
