Mr. Nguyen Ba Son - Deputy Director of Hanoi Urban Railway Management Board reported on the Board's activities in 2024 and proposed directions and tasks for 2025.

Most notably, on August 8, 2024, the Nhon - Hanoi Railway Pilot Urban Railway officially put into commercial operation the 8.5km elevated section, serving thousands of passengers every day. This is an important milestone marking a turning point in the capital's public transport system. Not only that, the project is also a testament to the Board's perseverance and responsibility in overcoming difficulties and ensuring the quality of the project.

In addition, the overall project for investment in the construction of the capital's urban railway system was approved by the Politburo on December 13, 2024. And recently, on December 16, 2024, Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son signed Decision No. 1578/QD-TTg approving the adjustment of the investment policy for the project to build Hanoi's urban railway line 2, Nam Thang Long - Tran Hung Dao section. These are important steps to build a modern, synchronous and sustainable transport network for the capital, meeting the requirements of socio-economic development and improving the quality of life of the people.

“However, in addition to the achieved results, the Hanoi Urban Railway Management Board also needs to frankly acknowledge the remaining difficulties and limitations such as the slow progress of some projects; capital sources and negotiations with contractors have not achieved maximum efficiency. In addition, the disbursement rate of public investment projects is still low” – the Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee commented.

Entering the challenging year of 2025, the Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee requested the Hanoi Urban Railway Management Board to focus on implementing key tasks such as accelerating the progress of key projects, especially completing the underground construction of the Nhon - Hanoi Railway Station Urban Railway Line and soon restarting the Nam Thang Long - Tran Hung Dao Line 2 project. This is a key task, requiring high concentration, promptly removing difficulties and obstacles to meet the expectations of the people...

“The city will continue to pay attention, direct and create all favorable conditions for the Hanoi Urban Railway Management Board to successfully complete its tasks. I believe that with a high sense of responsibility, determination, solidarity and creativity, the Board will excellently complete its assigned tasks, contributing to building the capital Hanoi to be increasingly civilized, modern and sustainably developed” – Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee emphasized.
