Complete standards and regulations for high-speed railways by October 2025

The Government Office has announced the conclusion of the Government Standing Committee at the meeting on technical standards and regulations in the railway sector.

The concluding announcement stated that the Government Standing Committee welcomed the efforts of agencies and units in carrying out assigned tasks related to the implementation of key national railway projects. However, the progress has not yet met requirements and there is still much work to be done.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Construction , the Ministry of Science and Technology, relevant agencies and units, according to their assigned functions and tasks, based on the direction of the Politburo, the Resolution of the National Assembly, the Government, international experience, and the actual conditions of Vietnam, will select the most optimal, safe and effective technology; develop, appraise, and promulgate standards and regulations for high-speed railways and Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong railways in accordance with the correct procedures, processes, authorities, and regulations, to be completed in October 2025.

On that basis, consider selecting investment methods and investors in accordance with the correct procedures, authority and legal regulations in October 2025; report to the Prime Minister on matters beyond authority.

It is known that related standards and regulations are a very important scientific basis for implementing the next steps such as choosing the form of investment, determining criteria for selecting investors... ensuring that railway projects will be implemented synchronously, safely and effectively.

This viewpoint has been directed by the Prime Minister throughout many documents, and needs to be seriously grasped and learned from by relevant agencies and units, reviewed for delays in implementation in the past, and promptly and proactively coordinate closely to implement.
