Construction will start or continue for major routes including the North-South high-speed railway, HCM City – Can Tho, Lao Cai – Hanoi – Hai Phong, and Hanoi – Dong Dang.

Over the next 10 years, priority will be given in terms of funding allocation to two sections of the North-South high-speed railway connecting Hanoi and Vinh, and HCM City and Nha Trang.

The upgrade of the existing lines and construction of new ones until 2030 will cost 1 billion USD sourced from both State and non-State budgets.
