HANOI/TOKYO -- Vietnam's Petrolimex has unveiled plans to open its first liquefied natural gas import terminal, following in the footsteps of fellow state-run energy group PetroVietnam, as the pair work to diversify energy supplies to fend off a chronic power shortage in the Southeast Asian country.
"We will put our efforts into the LNG business as a new area for growth," Petrolimex Chairman Pham Van Thanh told Nikkei.
