At the meeting, Chairman of Soletanche Freysinet Group - Manuel Peltier introduced the Group's history of over 80 years in the field of infrastructure construction with more than 10,000 projects per year globally.

In Vietnam, Soletanche Freyssinet has been operating since 2003 and has participated in many major projects such as Keangnam Landmark Tower, Indochina Plaza Hanoi, Hai Van Tunnel, My Thuan 2 Bridge and Thu Thiem 2 Bridge. The Group's leaders expressed their desire to continue researching and seeking opportunities for cooperation in investing in transport infrastructure in Long An province.

Discussing the Group's proposal, Vice Chairman of Long An Provincial People's Committee - Huynh Van Son highly appreciated the Group's capacity and technology, proven through projects that have created buzz in Vietnam.

Mr. Huynh Van Son affirmed that transport infrastructure is a lever for the economy. Long An prioritizes allocating resources to complete major transport projects in industrial localities to accelerate investment attraction and promote the economy.

In recent times, Long An province has been focusing on implementing and completing ahead of schedule key national transport projects and regional connectivity projects such as Tan An City Ring Road, Provincial Road 823D, 830E, 827E, etc.

In particular, Provincial Road 827E is identified as the driving axis connecting Ho Chi Minh City - Long An - Tien Giang, the locality is focusing on completing procedures to divide the investment phase of the approach road and 3 bridges across the Can Giuoc, Vam Co Dong, and Vam Co Tay rivers.

For the project of 3 bridges on Provincial Road 827E, the Government has approved the project proposal using foreign preferential loans (ODA) with a total investment of about 4,797 billion VND. With its large scale and high technical requirements, this project is suitable for the capacity and experience of pioneering construction technology corporations such as Soletanche Freyssinet Group.

Cooperating with experienced partners helps ensure project progress and quality, promote the application of advanced technologies, contribute to upgrading transport infrastructure, create momentum for economic development and regional connectivity. When put into operation, the projects not only ensure economic efficiency, but also contribute to the formation of iconic transport works, building a distinct image of the province.

After the working session at the headquarters of Soletanche Freysinet Group, the Long An Provincial Delegation surveyed the Metro Grand Paris Express project, one of the largest transport infrastructure projects in France today. The surveyed traffic section is a package jointly implemented by Soletanche Freysinet Group.

The delegation learned in detail about the scale, operation method and advanced technologies applied to this project, and learned from experience in the management, investment and construction of transport projects in the province./.
