Overview of the meeting between Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Nguyen Duy Ngoc and Yan Jiehe, Chairman of Zhuangyan Research Institute from China's Pacific Construction Group.
On February 11, Politburo member and Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Nguyen Duy Ngoc chaired a working session with a delegation from China's Pacific Construction Group, led by Yan Jiehe, Chairman of Zhuangyan Research Institute.
Standing Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Duong Duc Tuan and leaders of city departments also attended.
Both sides discussed key infrastructure projects, Hanoi's long-term development orientation and solutions to accelerate progress while ensuring quality and investment efficiency.
Ngoc welcomed Yan Jiehe and the CPCG delegation at the beginning of the new year.
He praised CPCG's infrastructure experience and said the Party Committee assigned the municipal People's Committee to study and concretize directives as Hanoi enters a new development phase targeting double-digit growth.
Rapid development requires a different approach to infrastructure investment that ensures synchronization, modernity and long-term vision, he said.
Ngoc also shared that during a previous meeting with Chinese Ambassador He Wei, the two sides discussed development thinking and the capital's future orientation.
He expressed admiration for China's urban railway industry and its strategic focus on science and technology as development drivers.
For his part, Yan Jiehe supported Hanoi's goal of accelerating infrastructure projects to deliver early benefits to society.
He said CPCG's strengths in construction, equipment and workforce allow flexible progress adjustments while maintaining quality and cost standards.
The two sides discussed projects involving CPCG in Hanoi, including Tu Lien Bridge, Ngoc Hoi Bridge and Metro Line 5 from Van Cao to Hoa Lac.
Yan Jiehe affirmed that CPCG stands ready to implement projects safely and effectively and is prepared to meet challenges to achieve the city's objectives.
He noted that Vietnam, with its stable political environment under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, represents a priority market for CPCG and success here would set a foundation for broader regional expansion.

Hanoi stands ready to create favorable conditions for projects to move forward smoothly, he said.
Regarding Tu Lien and Ngoc Hoi bridges, Ngoc pledged to direct site clearance as soon as possible to facilitate construction and urged close coordination with city authorities.
He shared Hanoi's 100-year development vision, which includes institutional reforms and mechanisms for long-term growth, alongside addressing five priority issues: flooding, traffic congestion, environmental quality, urban order and food safety.
Hanoi also plans to develop surrounding urban areas under multi-functional and multi-layered models, strengthening regional connectivity with six neighboring provinces, he said.
Emphasizing synchronized and modern development with clear timelines, Ngoc expressed hope that CPCG's leadership would soon propose concrete plans for discussion and implementation to help Hanoi achieve breakthrough growth in a new era.
