In the year 2017, ANT Lawyers, a law firm in Hanoi has been participating in the event of GRS Rail Extension Summit and Thomas Giglione presented about Alternative Dispute Resolution in executing contracts. In the year of­ 2019, ASEAN Rail Infrastructure & Expansion 2019 will bring to Hanoi the most exclusive and influential railway gathering in ASEAN region on May 30th -31st, 2019.

Asia is seeing rapid growth and urbanization, and there is an increasing need to develop transport services to match. And rail is an increasingly viable option to meet the demand for both urban commuting as well as long distance travel. Throughout Southeast Asia, countries are making upgrades to increase freight and passenger rail capacity, extending and rehabilitating existing rail infrastructure, developing urban rail, and pursuing cross border rail and transport linkages.

Vietnam is a country with a relatively complete and early railway system in the Southeast Asia region. On 16 June 2017, the National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam officially approved the Revised Railway Laws which supplements many preferential and breakthrough mechanisms and policies. This is the opportunity for Vietnam Railways to open a new page, the period of construction and development so that the railway sector can play its rightful role as the backbone of transport sector, contributing to the reduction of logistics expenses and enhancement of national competitiveness. At the same time, the Vietnamese Government is also planning to allocate a medium-term capital package of USD 350-450 million to Vietnam Railways in order to improve and upgrade the existing infrastructure network to increase railway interval capacity.
