Dung told Chairman and CEO of the
VTG Richard Courey at a meeting in Hanoi
on November 22 that the Vietnamese Government welcomes and values determination
of potential and experienced international partners to join infrastructure
projects in the country.
Lauding the VTG’s experience in
infrastructure development, he said that Vietnam is mobilizing social
resources for investment in infrastructure serving socio-economic development.
The Vietnamese Government is
improving its investment and business environment, completing institutions and
creating favorable conditions for foreign and domestic businesses to expand
investment, he added.
For his part, Richard Courey noted
that the VTG has proposed Hanoi and the
Vietnamese Government, ministries and agencies launch the urban railway project
No.2 that connects the Noi Bai International
Airport and the West Lake
in the form of Public Private Partnership.
He showed confidence that his firm
is competent in successfully implementing the project.
Deputy PM Dung suggested the VTG
work in detail with Hanoi
and relevant ministries and agencies before submitting a thorough report to the
Government.
