A world class construction group wishes to develop highways in Vietnam

VINCI, a French-based leading global group in infrastructure construction and concessions, met Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung in Hanoi on August 3.

At the meeting, Director of Business Development VINCI Concessions and Chairman of VINCI Highway Fadi Selwan said that the group hopes to cooperate with the Vietnamese Government and partners to develop highway projects in the country. VINCI is managing over 7,000 km of highway and 36 airports in France and other countries

Mr. Fadi Selwan expressed that VINCI wants to exchange experience, transfer highway management and operation technology, and develop new highway projects in the Southeast Asian country.

For his part, Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung hailed the VINCI’s expanding cooperation with Vietnam in highway investment. Vietnam is focusing on modernizing its transport infrastructure system with a view to completing the North-South highway and developing a nationwide highway network by 2020. Vietnam will also study the development of a high-speed railway and build major airports, according to Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung.

This offers an excellent opportunity for foreign businesses to invest in Vietnam. The Vietnamese Government will create all favorable conditions for potential investors to develop infrastructure, especially in the transport sector, he confirmed.

Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung asked VINCI to directly work with Vietnamese ministries and partners to realize cooperative ideas.
