(VOV) - Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has called on key leaders of the northern Hai Phong city to utilize its internal strength to develop the city into a modern port-based industrial and service city by 2015.

He made the remarks at a July 11 working session with key municipal leaders as part of his ongoing visit to Hai Phong city to review its implementation of the socio-economic development and Party building tasks.
