[In Pictures] Braving elements on 500kV Lao Cai – Vinh Yen transmission line construction site

As an urgent and strategically significant project for ensuring national energy security, the 500kV Lao Cai – Vinh Yen transmission line is being built by thousands of officers, engineers, and workers who are working tirelessly day and night, navigating complex terrain and harsh weather conditions.

Braving the elements, construction teams are determined to complete the project on schedule, in celebration of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution (19 August), National Day (2 September), and the upcoming Party Congresses at all levels. (Photo: TRUNG HUNG)
