Politburo to seek PCC’s approval of investment policy for North-South high-speed railway

(VOVWORLD) - The North-South high-speed railway is a crucial infrastructure work, the Politburo said while discussing an investment policy for this megaproject in Hanoi on Wednesday. 

Politburo members agreed to seek the Party Central Committee's approval of the investment policy before the Government presents it to the National Assembly’s upcoming year-end session.

The high-speed railway is expected to foster regional and inter-regional connectivity, generate economic spillover effects and open up new economic development spaces. It will help restructure urban areas and economic sectors, thereby enhancing the economy's competitiveness.

The project is poised to drive the growth of railway and supporting industries, promoting sustainable, modern, and eco-friendly modes of transport. This will help reduce traffic accidents, mitigate environmental pollution and adapt to climate change while ensuring national defense-security.
