The railway sector on June 26 officially launched the PL1/PL2 train service, transporting over 500 medical staff and doctors from Bach Mai Hospital daily between Ha Noi and Ninh Binh, contributing to ensuring medical examination and treatment services and reducing the burden on the central facility.

The Government has set a target of training at least 35,000 railway workers between 2025 and 2030, in order to meet the demands of developing synchronised and modern transport infrastructure.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has called for a thorough review and optimisation of investment efficiency in railway and urban railway projects right from their inception, urging a fundamental change in mindset from being a contractor for foreign partners to assuming full ownership in building a self-reliant, self-strengthening and autonomous railway industry.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired the seventh meeting of the Steering Committee for key national railway projects in Ha Noi on March 3.
