An international conference on urban railways (metro) is set to take place in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) on April 18.

The event aims to inform domestic and international investors about the city's metro project investment plans.

Vice Chairman of the municipal People's Committee Bui Xuan Cuong has approved a proposal submitted by the HCMC Management Authority for Urban Railways (MAUR) to hold an international roadshow and conference providing consultancy details for the implementation of urban railway projects in HCMC.

According to MAUR, to effectively implement Resolution 188/2025/QH15 and meet the goal of launching the main contract package for Metro Line 2 (Ben Thanh - Tham Luong) by the end of 2025, the  MAUR will collaborate with the Hanoi Metropolitan Railway Management Board (MRB) to hold an "international roadshow" informing stakeholders about investment opportunities in metro systems for both Hanoi and HCMC.

The roadshow will enable MAUR to inform a broad audience of domestic and international investors about the city's metro system investment plans. It also provides an opportunity to evaluate the capacity and expertise of consulting firms, allowing MAUR to commence priority tasks for Metro Line 2 immediately.

For investors, the roadshow offers a platform to exchange implementation methods and share practical experiences in managing metro projects from their perspectives as project owners or stakeholders.
