At the event, Deputy Minister of Construction Bui Xuan Dung stated that the project welcomes the participation of leading global consultancy organizations with practical experience in designing high-speed railway projects. The project will also apply modern technologies suited to Vietnam’s specific topographical, geological, and climatic conditions; optimize technical designs in harmony with planning schemes; and promote TOD (transit-oriented development) urban areas along the route.
The Ministry of Construction encourages joint venture models between experienced domestic and international consultancy organizations, thereby creating opportunities for Vietnamese consultants, engineers, and experts to access and learn from the design and development of modern electrified railway networks around the world. To meet the schedule for site clearance and the commencement of the North–South high-speed railway project, the selection of consultants to prepare the feasibility study report is expected to be carried out in June 2026.
