en.Wedoany.com Reported - Guangzhou Metro Group has made new progress in advancing its international strategy and expanding overseas rail transit projects, recently signing strategic cooperation agreements with enterprises from Vietnam and Singapore.
In terms of cooperation with Singapore, on June 3, 2026, Guangzhou Metro Group and SMRT Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement and inaugurated the Rail Transit Joint Innovation Lab.
Guangzhou Metro's business cooperation in Singapore will focus on three core areas.
In operations and maintenance, a regular mechanism for experience exchange and personnel cross-training will be established;
In engineering and technology, a joint research team will be formed to solve common industry challenges, deeply participating in Singapore's technically complex new line projects, leveraging advantages in ultra-long line planning, complex construction, and system integration to create benchmark projects of China-Singapore cooperation;
In supply chain and talent development, a resilient industrial chain will be built, and high-end industry talents will be jointly cultivated. The Joint Innovation Lab serves as a key carrier for this cooperation, focusing on six key technologies including digital twins and intelligent operations and maintenance, with the Marina Bay station as the first pilot for innovative applications. The lab's outcomes will be prioritized for validation and scaled promotion on relevant new lines in Singapore, connecting the entire "R&D-Engineering-Operations" chain and providing a replicable "China-Singapore solution" for global rail transit development.
On the afternoon of June 3, the Resource Management Company of Guangzhou Metro Group also signed a tripartite agreement with SMRT Group's commercial arm, Stellar Lifestyle, and Jucheng Robot Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. This agreement serves as an important extension and supporting outcome of the strategic cooperation, focusing on deep collaborative efforts in three directions: upgrading rail transit commercial operations, deploying smart device scenarios, and integrating international commercial resources.
In terms of cooperation with Vietnam, on June 1, just past, Guangzhou Metro Group and Vietnam Railways officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement, and the Guangzhou Metro Group Representative Office in Vietnam was inaugurated on the same day. The strategic cooperation agreement is regarded as one of the specific measures to implement the direction of transportation infrastructure connectivity cooperation between China and Vietnam. The two parties will mainly cooperate in areas such as planning and design, system equipment, engineering construction, operations and maintenance, talent development, and technological innovation, strengthening exchanges and cooperation in urban rail transit construction and operation, electrified railway technology, transit-oriented development (TOD) models, and smart railway construction. According to the plan, the total mileage of Vietnam's railway system will reach approximately 7,000 kilometers in the future. Among this, by 2035, Hanoi will add 7 new urban rail transit lines with a total length of about 397.8 kilometers; Ho Chi Minh City will add 6 new lines during the same period, with a total length of about 183 kilometers.
