To strengthen the Customs-Business Partnership, keep businesses informed of relevant developments, identify and address difficulties and obstacles, and facilitate import-export activities, Customs Sub-Department Region III holds annual meetings with the business community. The dialogue sessions in 2026 have delivered positive results, helping enhance the effectiveness of customs-business partnerships.

The 39th Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) and Tokyo International Film and Content Market (TIFFCOM 2026) are taking place in Japan from October 28 to 30, attracting more than 4,600 industry professionals, delegates and business visitors. Joining the event alongside the Vietnam Film Development Association (VFDA), representatives from localities, including Hai Phong, are stepping up efforts to promote filming locations, the investment environment and support policies to attract international film crews.

For Hai Phong, developing modern international logistics hubs linked to international seaports and connected to economic corridors and ring roads requires the establishment of logistics hubs across the city. These hubs must meet several requirements, including direct connectivity with transport companies operating international shipping routes to Asia, Europe and the Americas, as well as with manufacturing businesses, alongside other necessary conditions.

On Friday morning, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee and Chairman of the Hai Phong People’s Committee Do Thanh Trung chaired a regular meeting to review the city’s socio-economic performance in October and the first 10 months of 2026, as well as key tasks for the final two months of the year. The meeting was held online, with 114 communes, wards and special zones across the city.

The Hai Phong Union of Science and Technology Associations, in coordination with the Department of Science and Technology, the Hai Phong Labour Federation and the Hai Phong Farmers’ Association, has launched the 6th Hai Phong City Technical Innovation Contest for 2026–2027.

Hai Phong is emerging as a major transport and logistics hub, bringing together key modes of transport, including deep-water seaports, expressways, railways, inland waterways and air transport.
