Gabriel Petridis, a shipping professional and Honorary Consul of Vietnam, discussed his long-standing efforts to help Vietnam, with Greek support, become a strong player in global shipping. He spoke on Voice of Greece and the show “Our Global Voice,” hosted by Petros Diplas and Dimitris Kontoyiannis.
Mr. Petridis emphasized Vietnam’s significant progress in various sectors of its economy. While ideally located in Southeast Asia with a coastline of nearly 3,000 kilometers, the country still lags in the shipping sector. He believes that Vietnam could become a major maritime power with the support of Greek expertise, as Greeks are global leaders in this field.
