The Government assigned the Minister of Construction, authorized by the Prime Minister , to sign the Report to the National Assembly on adjusting the 2025 Legislative Program and the content of the draft law.

At the same time, the Ministry of Construction is assigned to preside over and coordinate with relevant agencies to receive, explain, and revise the draft according to the opinions of National Assembly deputies and the National Assembly Standing Committee.

The Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Justice are also responsible for providing complete records and documents; closely coordinating with the reviewing agency to complete the draft law.

This amendment to the Railway Law is expected to remove bottlenecks in investment and implementation of national and urban railway projects, which are facing many difficulties in procedures, capital, site clearance and human resource development.
