JICA selected and dispatched a study team consisted of the Japan Railway Technical Service (JARTS) members, headed by Mr. Kiichi Takemura, nine times to Vietnam from February 2008 to April 2009. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Vietnam and other related agencies, and also promoted studies on important matters required on railways in Vietnam. As an outcome of these efforts, the final report has been completed for submission. I hope that this report will contribute to the enactment and enforcement of the National Technical Regulation and Standard Set for Railway with a proper promotion of safe and stable railway businesses, as well as to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to those who have kindly extended support and cooperation to the study.

The Government of Vietnam has been engaged in the development of urban railways to solve traffic problems in such large cities as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh cities. However, since electrified railway is the first experience in Vietnam, it was absolutely necessary and urgent for the Government to build the technical regulation and standard to properly guide and supervise railway operators or business entities for the safe and stable railway transport. This Study was conducted to prepare the draft of the Technical Regulation and Standard, and also to provide necessary support for their enactment as well as recommendation on how to enforce them including institutional settings. In preparing the draft of the Technical Regulation and Standard, the study team keeps in mind the importance of their openness, neutrality and equitability. For this purpose, the study team held seminars four times during the study to collect opinions on the Technical Regulation and Standard from the parties concerned in railway field. The Technical Regulation and Standard is now steadily being scrutinized for their enactment by Vietnamese side. The study team wishes that the Technical Regulation and Standard really make a basis for the development of railway businesses in Vietnam. On behalf of the study team, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to the officials in Japan (those in JICA Head Office and Vietnam Office, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Japanese Embassy in Vietnam, and Railway Bureau /Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism) for their assistance and cooperation during the study. I also would like to expresses my hearty thanks to Dr. Yoshihiro Suda, Professor of University of Tokyo, Mr. Satoru Onoyama, Railway Electrical Engineering Association of Japan and Mr. Nobukuni Ishii, Japan Train Operation Association, the members of JICA’s advisory committee for the study, for their valuable advices kindly extended to the study team. Finally, I express my sincere gratitude to the officials in Vietnam (those in Vietnam Railway Administration (VNRA), Department of Science and Technology (DOST) in Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Science and Technology, Vietnam Railway Corporation, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh People Committee, and other organizations) for their favor and cooperation kindly extended to the study team during our stay in Vietnam.
