A Partnership Built on Synergy

The signing was the result of a process of exploration grounded in trust and mutual respect.

Meanwhile, CONINCO is a leading construction consultancy in Vietnam, responsible for thousands of national key projects and major assignments from leading domestic and regional corporations; it has extensive technical expertise and a broad nationwide client network.

He noted that this year also marks Nippon Koei’s 70th anniversary of operations in Vietnam. After over a year of working directly with CONINCO, he observed strong alignment between the two companies’ corporate cultures, particularly their shared focus on advancing science and technology, as well as developing high-quality human resources. He emphasized that these common values provide a solid foundation for collaboration in strategic areas during the new era of Vietnam’s ascent.

General Director Nguyễn Mạnh Tuấn shared his hopes: “I look forward to both parties soon proceeding to official contracts that bring the agreement’s commitments into reality, creating lasting and practical benefits.”

Mr. Toshiyuki Fukuda – General Director of Nippon Koei Vietnam – fully agreed, stressing the importance of quickly translating the agreement into concrete contracts and projects that would leave a clear mark for both brands.

In a solemn yet open atmosphere, three representatives – Mr. Nguyễn Mạnh Tuấn, General Director of CONINCO; Mr. Daiki Abe, Authorized Representative of NKBP; and Mr. Toshiyuki Fukuda, General Director of NKV – signed the Memorandum of Understanding.

Comprehensive Cooperation in Key Areas

Under the agreement, CONINCO and NKG will collaborate across multiple sectors, leveraging each other’s strengths to pursue future projects. Key areas of cooperation include: jointly exploring new projects, especially in urban infrastructure, civil construction, and transportation; and strengthening competitiveness in the railway sector, with a focus on urban railway projects, transit-oriented development (TOD), and national strategic initiatives such as the North–South High-Speed Railway.

Immediately after the ceremony, Chairman Phan Ngọc Cương presented flowers, and leaders of both companies exchanged commemorative gifts, underscoring their respect and commitment to a long-term partnership.

The signing ceremony concluded successfully, opening a promising new chapter in the cooperation between CONINCO and Nippon Koei.
