The General Director was dismissed by Mr. Dinh La Thang and returned to his old position.

On December 29, Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company announced that the Board of Directors of the unit has just decided to temporarily appoint Mr. Nguyen Viet Hiep as the company's general director from January 1, 2018.

In addition, the Board of Directors of Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company decided to dismiss Mr. Tran The Hung from the position of General Director from January 1, 2018.

Mr. Nguyen Viet Hiep was the former General Director of Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company. In February 2016, after purchasing 160 old train cars from Kunming Railway Bureau (China), Mr. Dinh La Thang, former Minister of Transport, directed Vietnam Railway Corporation to remove Mr. Hiep from his position.

Afterwards, Mr. Hiep was dismissed from his position as general director of Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company and transferred to work as head of planning and business department of Vietnam Railway Corporation.

Ms. Phung Thi Ly Ha, Deputy General Director of Hanoi Railway Transport Joint Stock Company, affirmed: "Mr. Nguyen Viet Hiep is a capable and dedicated person, the Board of Directors' appointment of Mr. Hiep to the above position is completely reasonable."
