The Government will complete the pre-feasibility study report on the North-South high-speed railway project and submit it to the National Assembly for approval of the investment policy before 2025.

In particular, by 2030, we strive to start construction of the North-South high-speed railway project, with priority sections Hanoi - Vinh, Ho Chi Minh City - Nha Trang; by 2045, we will complete and put into operation the entire North-South high-speed railway route.
The Government will consult on experiences from several countries in the world that have been developing high-speed railways; establish a Steering Committee to build and implement the Project on investment policy for building high-speed railways on the North-South axis and important national railway projects to study and select investment options for building high-speed railways.
