Dear friends! I am delighted to welcome you to the business forum in Sochi and to wish you interesting discussions and fruitful work.
Your international forum brings together a wide range of participants – heads of national railways, engineering companies and logistics companies – and the interest in it grows with every passing year. Today these participants represent not only the countries of the “1520 area” but also a whole range of other states.
This year the forum will discuss topical issues to do with modernising the railway industry, and making it more competitive and more attractive to investment. This includes the prospects for strengthening the transit potential of the partnership’s countries, and for developing international transport corridors.
I am sure that the recommendations drawn up by the forum’s participants will make a significant contribution to tackling these issues. They will help us to make effective use of global experience in the interests of the national economy.
I wish you success and all the very best.
The letters of support
Dmitry Medvedev, President of Russia
