Vietnam: Attractiveness of North-South high-speed railway project
“The North-South high-speed railway project is considered a strategic infrastructure initiative for Vietnam, running for approximately 1,541 km through 20 provinces and centrally-governed cities and connecting Ngoc Hoi Station in Hanoi and Thu Thiem Station in Ho Chi Minh City. The project will have total investment of an estimated $70 billion.”
“As part of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s official visit to France in early June, Alstom – one of the world’s leading corporations in rail transport solutions – expressed strong interest in taking part in the project. ‘Alstom is ready to transfer advanced technology and engage in extensive cooperation with Vietnamese enterprises to help develop a sustainable and self-reliant railway industry in Vietnam,’ Mr. Henri Poupart-Laffarge, CEO of Alstom, affirmed.”
