Vladimir Yakunin, JSC Russian Railways

Dear colleagues!

On behalf of the Board of Russian Railways, I would like to welcome the delegates, guests and organizers of International geopolitical symposium «1520: Strategic dialogue»!

The development of railway networks is by right considered one of the main factors insuring strengthening of international economic and political ties. The "broad" gauge 1520 mm can serve a perfect example as an area of common interests, which brings us together and pushes us to a multilateral dialogue.

The most important topics of this dialogue make the agenda of the International Geopolitical Symposium. We will have an opportunity to examine the geopolitical and socio-economic aspects of setting up international transport corridors, study the integrative role of the railways of the Russian Federation in strengthening bilateral ties. Besides the symposium will be the response to the intellectual challenge of complex study of the modern transport development in its relationship with domestic and foreign policy.

I am convinced that International geopolitical symposium «1520: Strategic dialogue» will allow consolidating our creative potential for the further implementation of strategic projects which will help Russia and other Member States – partners in the "broad" gauge in achieving their geo-economic objectives.

I wish you all success and fruitful work!

President of JSC Russian RailwaysVladimir Yakunin
