FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Hanoi urges shipping lane extension - Caught on Camera

Vietnam has asked the government to expand a shipping navigation route between its Phu Quoc island and Thailand as part of a coastal shipping lane cooperation deal previously agreed by the two countries and Cambodia.

The request was made at a meeting between Phan Chi Thanh, the Vietnamese ambassador to Thailand, and Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob on Wednesday.

As agreed after four tripartite meetings on multilateral cooperation, the ideal coastal shipping route would stretch from Khlong Yai district of Trat in Thailand to Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam with three stops in between, namely Sihanoukville in Cambodia, Kampot in Cambodia and Ha Tien in Vietnam, Mr Saksayam said on Thursday.
