The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has said that more than 95 per cent of Vietnamese fishing vessels have now installed vessel monitoring systems (VMS). However, efforts to remove the EU’s “yellow card” on Vietnam for illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing face many difficulties, as some localities still neglect to supervise the local fleet, with the number of vessels violating international waters not falling significantly.
The Real Estate Association of Hai Phong City has said that compared to other cities, its real estate market remains quite attractive and has a lot of potential for further development. There are some areas, however, that are growing too much. The northern port city is making efforts to clean up the local market and impose strong sanctions on violations.
