Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, has long been hailed as the “Pearl of the Far East” of Vietnam due to its strategic location in the heart of the Southern region, converging water and land transportation, and serving as a gateway to the sea. Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) plays a crucial role in import-export and international trade.

From trading by boats and barges, Saigon today boasts a modern transportation system with roads, waterways, airways, and railways. Import-export activities are increasingly vibrant, diversifying goods and markets. The city is a center for international conferences and exhibitions, attracting domestic and foreign investors and businesses.

With its continuous development, Saigon has affirmed its position as a leading economic and transportation center in Vietnam, contributing to the overall development of the country.
