Policy research to promote rapid implementation of railway projects

Research policies to promote rapid implementation of railway projects.

Recently, the Government Electronic Information Portal has compiled an article of the Labor Electronic Newspaper dated March 27, 2025 on "High-speed railway, an opportunity to master modern technology" for the Prime Minister to consider and direct.

According to the above article, experts believe that the high-speed railway projects being implemented are all projects with large investment capital and are completely self-financed by Vietnam, so it is necessary to prioritize the participation of domestic enterprises. In terms of resources, many Vietnamese enterprises are currently not inferior to enterprises in the region. The State needs to have a special mechanism to promote technology transfer from international contractors to Vietnamese enterprises. At the same time, issue more incentive mechanisms such as tax reduction, credit incentives, and contractor designation in some special cases... This is the key for Vietnam to master high-speed railway projects, affirming its new position in the transportation industry...

Regarding the above issue, in Official Dispatch No. 2712/VPCP-CN dated April 1, 2025, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh assigned Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha to direct the Minister of Construction to study and propose adequate mechanisms and policies to serve as a basis for promoting the rapid implementation of high-speed railway projects on the North-South axis, the Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong railway project, the Lang Son - Hanoi railway project, and the Hai Phong - Ha Long - Mong Cai railway project.
