Japan’s Tokyo Metro will provide technical assistance and counselling services for the Hanoi Metropolitan Railway Management Board (MRB) to develop and run urban metro lines.
A document to this effect was signed in Hanoi on February 18 by Tokyo Metro Co. Ltd CEO Yoshimitsu Oku and MRB director Nguyen Quang Manh.
Both sides will exchange information and increase cooperation in human resources for metro projects.
Since February 2013 the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has helped Hanoi carry out a project on technical assistance and increased capacity building of a Hanoi agency to operate and repair metro lines in the city.
Tokyo Metro and MRB experts are working on the establishment of an agency to manage and operate the lines in the future.
Yoshimitsu Oku expressed hope Tokyo Metro’s 90 years of experience will help Hanoi develop modern urban rail lines, giving it a facelift in the coming years.
