That was stated during the meeting between Mayor Nguyen Duc Chung received Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus Vladimir Semashko on March 28, Hanoi
At the reception, Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Semashko reviewed the cooperation activities between the two sides, mentioned among which is Belarus’ provision of 32 buses to Hanoi from 2017. Belarus expects to continue with the capital during public transport development.
In this regard, the representative of Hanoi Transport & Services Corporation (Transerco) said that the company had received 32 buses (60-seat and 80-seat class) from MAZ of Belarus since December 2017 with total investment of nearly $US5 million. These vehicles have met initial quality requirements so far.
Warmly welcoming the Deputy Prime Minister and the Belarusian delegation, Hanoi Mayor shared that in order for the public sector to achieve the target of 20-22% of passenger transport to 2020, Hanoi had added new bus routes, as well as actively replaced or used new appliances, equipment, buses to ensure high quality service. Accordingly, more than 300 buses had been purchased (for supplementation to or in replacement of the old ones) in the capital in 2017, and by 2020, the city will have purchased 700 to 1000 buses for supplementation/replacement purposes. "Therefore, the potential for cooperation between Hanoi and Belarus in this area remains great," the Mayor stressed.
Highly appraising bus quality from MAZ of Belarus, Hanoi Mayor stated that Belarus needed to consider adjusting the assembly process as well as the price so that Hanoi might increasingly put these vehicles into use in the coming time.
At the meeting with Belarus Deputy Prime Minister, Hanoi Mayor also expressed expectation that the two sides would expand cooperation in tourism, infrastructure development, metro system management and operation, and at the same time would create conditions for Hanoi’s agricultural products to access Belarus market, as well as welcome Belarus dairy products to be produced, imported into Hanoi market.
Agreeing with Hanoi Mayor’s proposals, the Deputy Prime Minister asserted that Belarus was ready to support Hanoi in regard to the development goals. On this occasion, Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Semashko also invited the Mayor and the delegation of Hanoi to visit Belarus to facilitate further cooperation.
