The Government Office has just issued Official Dispatch No. 9533/VPCP-CN, conveying the direction of Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha on amending the Investment Law (replacement), in order to perfect the legal framework for investment activities in the railway sector.
This directive was issued after considering the proposal of the Ministry of Construction in Document No. 10948/BXD-KHTC dated October 2, 2025. The key objective is to build an open, stable and safe investment legal environment, thereby encouraging and mobilizing social resources to develop the infrastructure system, especially the national railway infrastructure, in accordance with Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW dated May 4, 2025 of the Politburo on developing synchronous and modern infrastructure.
To urgently complete the Draft Investment Law (replacement), the Government Office assigned tasks to ministries and branches, specifically:
The Ministry of Finance is responsible for presiding over and coordinating with the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Justice to receive comments in documents No. 10271/BXD-KHTC (dated September 22, 2025) and 10782/BXD-KHTC (dated September 30, 2025) to propose amendments and supplements related to the Railway Law.
The Government also requested the Ministry of Finance to be responsible for clarifying regulations on contract terms, contract extensions, and priority, incentive and investment incentive mechanisms for important and strategic infrastructure projects under the decision-making authority of the National Assembly, the Prime Minister or decentralized to ministries, branches and localities.
At the same time, the Ministry of Finance organized a wide consultation on the Draft Law on Investment (replacement), synthesized and completed the dossier and, on behalf of the Prime Minister, submitted it to the National Assembly for consideration and approval at the 10th Session of the 15th National Assembly.
The Government requests that the Ministry of Justice urgently provide written comments on the contents of the Ministry of Construction's proposed amendments to the Railway Law and the draft Investment Law (replacement) chaired by the Ministry of Finance, before October 5, 2025.
The Government requested the Ministry of Construction to proactively coordinate closely with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Justice in the process of explaining and receiving opinions from the National Assembly on contents related to the railway sector, and at the same time participate in completing the Draft Investment Law (replacement).
Previously, the Ministry of Construction sent a report to the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha on reviewing and supplementing regulations related to the operating period of a number of key infrastructure projects.
In Document No. 10782/BXD-KHTC dated September 30, 2025, the Ministry of Construction proposed to supplement and edit a number of contents of the Draft Investment Law 2025, specifically:
Supplement the provisions at Point c, Clause 3, Article 24 (on State capital investment) and add a new clause to Article 34 (on divestment).
Accordingly, for national and local railways, after the project's operating period expires, the State will pay the investor and receive all assets formed from the project.
These assets will be handed over to the State Capital Management Committee at enterprises for management, serving the needs of investment and infrastructure exploitation in the next phase according to the Government's decision.
