The information was revealed by Minister of Transport Dinh La Thang at a meeting on Monday. He said that the ministry was considering Vingroup’s proposal.

"Da Nang has a plan to move the Da Nang Railway Station out of the center so the transfer of the rights to use the infrastructure of the old station is reasonable and harmonious. For the Hanoi and Saigon railway stations, we need to conduct research to modernize these stations, not by the State money," Minister Thang said.

Thang asked the Vietnam Railway Corporation and related entities to consider the roadmap of selling the rights of use of railway stations to attract more investors and perform bids to choose the best ones.

At the meeting on Monday, Sungroup proposed to buy the operation rights of key train routes. Sungroup Chairman Tran Thanh Son said they would buy 20 new carriages to serve tourists.

"Sungroup is interested in trains running on the routes of Hanoi - Danang, Saigon - Danang, Hanoi - Lao Cai,” said Son.
