The French Ambassador says that France has closely monitored the bidding process for upcoming metro lines in Hanoi and HCM City, while expressing particular interest in railway development projects in Vietnam, including the high-speed railway.

Vietnam has build working towards some serious transit upgrades lately. The HSR line between the major cities, and starting to ban gas powered vehicles on a very accelerated time scale both show a nation wanting to modernize and build needed resources for their people.

France and Vietnam relations have come a long way since the 1960’s… building relationships and resources is good work.
