Vyacheslav Manuilov, Acting Minister for External Economic and International Relations of Moscow, hosted the Vietnamese delegations and highlighted the Russian capital’s extensive expertise in building, managing and operating one of the world’s most advanced and heavily used metro networks.

He noted that Moscow has developed cutting-edge technological solutions across the entire process - from engineering design and construction in complex geological conditions to system management and operation.

Manuilov affirmed that the Moscow administration is ready to share its experience and cooperate with Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in developing metro systems.

Vice Chairman of the Hanoi municipal People’s Committee Truong Viet Dung, and Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City Bui Xuan Cuong highly valued Russia’s achievements in smart urban transport infrastructure development.

They also expressed keen interest in gaining deeper insights into concrete cooperation models that could help accelerate the construction of metro lines currently under construction or in the planning stage in the Vietnamese cities.

The two sides discussed specific cooperation programs to help strengthen collaboration in technical infrastructure and promote sustainable transport within the framework of the Vietnam–Russia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
