2. Why is Cam Ranh Bay so important to our country?

The reason Cam Ranh is so strategically important is because it is considered the deepest water port in the Indo-Pacific region, located between the world's most important sea routes passing through the East Sea.

Therefore, since 2004, Cam Ranh Bay has been reclaimed by Vietnam and gradually converted to military purposes instead of being leased to foreigners as before. In September 2014, the Ministry of National Defense approved the investment project to build a maritime service area and supply ships. On March 8, 2016, at Cam Ranh military base, the Vietnam Navy held the opening ceremony of Cam Ranh International Port, one of the largest seaports in Vietnam.
