PM proposes Japanese support in express railway construction

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has suggested that visiting Japanese Minister of State for Financial Services Suzuki Shunichi propose the Japanese Government provide assistance to Vietnam in building the North-South Express Railway, during their meeting in Hanoi on January 13.

The Prime Minister also sought Japanese Government support in restructuring capital contributions at the Nghi Son Oil Refinery and Petrochemical project and in managing digital transformation in customs and the corporate bond and securities markets.

Vietnam will continue creating favorable conditions for Japanese businesses to operate effectively in the country, he said, adding that obstacles faced by several Japanese projects in Vietnam are being removed to hasten their progress.

Mr. Shunichi said he hopes there will be more effective Japanese works and projects this year, marking the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties.
