According to Chinese Ambassador to Vietnam He Wei, China is currently Vietnam's largest export market for agricultural, forestry, and aquatic products, with exports to China growing by more than 40% in the first six months of this year. The ambassador said Long Thanh International Airport will open up significant opportunities for Dong Nai, not only by facilitating logistics and the transport of high-value goods but also by boosting tourism.
