On the afternoon of March 6, National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung, Head of the Central Economic Commission Vuong Dinh Hue and representatives of Thai Binh province's leaders visited and encouraged submarine inventor Nguyen Quoc Hoa in Thai Binh city (Thai Binh province).

The Chairman highly appreciated businessman Hoa’s submarine construction project and expressed his joy that Vietnam still has pioneers like him. He and the members of the delegation wished the businessman continued creativity and the submarine construction project would soon be a great success.

Hoang Sa is the second submarine researched and manufactured by Mr. Nguyen Quoc Hoa and was successfully tested in the lake at the end of 2015.

Sharing with VnExpress, Mr. Pham Quoc Hoa said that the Hoang Sa submarine has been completed and the trial program is waiting for the Prime Minister's Office to decide on the optimal solution. The leaders of Thai Binh province are also very supportive.

"During the time of researching and manufacturing two submarines named Truong Sa and Hoang Sa, many scientists and inventors from Russia, Germany, Japan and the US called to share, encourage and give advice. Among them were two Vietnamese scientists living and working in Germany and the US... In particular, there was an organization that wanted to invite me to cooperate, but I refused simply because I am Vietnamese and wish to contribute and serve the country," said Mr. Hoa.

Not stopping at building submarines, Mr. Hoa also revealed that he will pursue building the next ships after the Truong Sa and Hoang Sa ships complete their testing.
