Hanoi plans to expand its urban railway network to around 20 lines, with a total length of more than 1,000 km.

The Republic of Korea is willing to support Hanoi in
developing a comprehensive master plan and improving the operation of its metro
network, according to Head of the Motor Vehicles Management Bureau under South Korea’s
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Mr. Kim Yong-seog.

During a meeting
with Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee Duong Duc Tuan in the
capital city on November 26, Mr. Kim also proposed the application of South Korea’s
technological strengths to Hanoi’s future transport infrastructure.

Mr. Tuan said the city plans to complete 15 railway lines of
various types, many of which are scheduled to begin construction in early 2026.

Hanoi also plans to expand its urban railway network to
around 20 lines, with a total length of more than 1,000 km.

Hanoi has seen the growing interest of South Korean
enterprises seeking investment and cooperation opportunities in Vietnam and the
capital city.

In the first ten months of 2025, South Korean enterprises
invested over $4.42 billion in Vietnam, up 8.7% year-on-year.
