Hanoi (VNA) – The Nhon-Hanoi Station metro line’s elevated section has received a safety certification by Apave - Bureau Veritas - Certifer (known as ABC Consultant) from France, giving it the paperwork needed to be operational.

The certificate will be submitted to Vietnam Register and the Department for Management of Transport Work Construction and Quality under the Ministry of Transport (MoT) for appraisal.
