Speaking at the workshop, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Truc Le affirmed the position and importance of sustainable development of the marine economy, and at the same time determined the task of making our country a strong and rich maritime nation.
According to Mr. Nguyen Truc Le, despite the achievements, some goals and tasks set out in the Party and State's policies on the sea have not been achieved; the advantages and potential of the sea have not been fully exploited. The connection between coastal areas; between coastal regions and localities with inland regions and localities; between sectors and fields related to the sea is still loose and ineffective; environmental pollution and ecosystem degradation are at risk of increasing in the context of climate change and rising sea levels.
“Therefore, research to propose effective and sustainable marine economic development models is an urgent issue,” emphasized the Chairman of the Council of the University of Economics, Vietnam National University, Hanoi.
