Vizhinjam Port Opens, Aims to Boost Trade and Cut Foreign Dependency

India opened a new port in Kerala called Vizhinjam, designed to help ships move goods.

It cost a lot of money to build.

Right now, a lot of India's shipping goes through other countries, but this port will help change that.

It will make things cheaper and easier for businesses that import and export.

The government hopes it will make India a bigger player in global trade, bringing in more money and jobs for the local area.

However, some politicians are arguing about who should get credit for the project.
