The Ministry of Construction tells 13 interested firms they will be notified once the investment model for Việt Nam’s $67 billion high-speed rail is finalised.
This move is viewed as a bold strategic initiative aligned with the Party’s resolutions on fostering science and technology, digital transformation and private sector development.
The government should focus on building infrastructure, while the private sector equips it with supporting facilities, from which they can generate profits to recover their investments, say experts.
Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung has urged relevant ministries to allocate sufficient investment capital for the appraisal of the pre-feasibility study report of the North - South high-speed railway project.
