Thiruvananthapurm, May 1 -- Vizhinjam International Seaport is the largest-ever state investment port in the country, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Thursday.

"This landmark project - the largest-ever state investment in any port in the country, with two-thirds of the cost borne by the Government of Kerala - reflects the state's strong commitment to development," the CM said in a message.

"Tomorrow (May 2) marks a historic moment as Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, dedicates the Vizhinjam International Seaport to the nation," he said.

The commissioning of Vizhinjam Port marks the beginning of a new chapter in India's maritime journey, placing the nation firmly on the global map, he added. UNI DS SS
