VIETNAM

摘要

Tokyo Metro Co has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Hanoi Metropolitan Railway Management Board, MRB, in a step toward providing technical assistance to the Vietnamese capital. The friendship and cooperation agreement is the Japanese operator's first overseas expansion. Under the agreement Tokyo Metro will provide railway technologies, engage in personnel exchanges and share relevant information with the MRB and will focus on establishing a local railway operator in the country. In February 2013, the Japan International Cooperation Agency awarded the Hanoi railway system development project to Tokyo Metro and the Japan International Consultants for Transportation Co. In March of the same year, Tokyo Metro opened a local office and sent 10 of its employees there. Tokyo Metro will also host study tours and training for MRB employees in Tokyo and railway seminars in Hanoi.
