Hanoi (VNA) – Construction of the southern petrochemical complex at the Long Son Oil and Gas Industrial Zone in southern Ba Ria-Vung Tau province will start on September 25. According to the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PVN), the Prime Minister has given the greenlight to the project’s ground-breaking and other work.
