I am pleased to continue a fine tradition by sincerely welcoming the participants, guests and organizers of the International Rail Business Forum “1520 Strategic Partnership”.
The efficiency with which railway transport works in modern conditions is directly dependent on how rapidly and smoothly radical modernization and the introduction of integrated innovative solutions can be carried out.
This theme, which is on the agenda for the current forum, is now most pressing both for all the states and companies in the “broad gauge” world by itself and in terms of making railway transport as a whole more competitive.
I am convinced that the discussions about developing a modernization process strategy, that is, setting specific objectives and selecting the right instruments, mechanisms and resources, will lay a firm foundation for our successful development.
My dear colleagues, I urge you to take an active part in the forthcoming dialogue. I wish everyone who is taking part fruitful work and useful contacts.
