He urged them to continue their endeavours and put the project into operation.
Bui Xuan Cuong, head of the railway management board, said 73.5 percent of the work has been completed and contractors, engineers, and workers are striving to complete 85 percent by the end of this year.
The greatest difficulty at present is the impact of COVID-19, with experts returning home or not being permitted to come to Vietnam, he noted.
He proposed the government consider devising special mechanisms for the entry of experts into Vietnam, so that progress is no longer affected.
