Meanwhile, General Director of the Deo Ca Investment Joint Stock Company Ho Minh Hoang said his company targets to invest in several railway projects, including the Hanoi-Hai Phong railway or the Yen Vien-Pha Lai-Ha Long-Cai Lan railway. 
He also suggested the private-public partnership (PPP) model be applied in implementing projects on infrastructure and public services which require substantial investment with delayed returns. 
The Ministry of Transport has approved the project proposal on inviting social resources for upgrades to 12 railways and the construction of five new ones. 
The projects will be initiated under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) or PPP investment form.
