Vladimir Yakunin stressed the importance of the Forum, in particular, saying: "The financial and economic crisis faced by the strength of including transportation systems of " Space 1520 ", which once again gave us the opportunity to make sure that the Baltic region has been and remains a key element of the Eurasian Economic Cooperation. The effectiveness of the experience of transit capacity largely depends on the level of interaction of all market participants. I am convinced that the holding of the II International Regional Railway Business Forum "1520 Strategic Partnership: Baltic Region" in Tallinn will be an important event in the industry and will identify practical steps to further the cooperation of all stakeholders in the development of railway systems, based on 1520 mm gauge.."

Kaido Simmerman expressed confidence that II International Regional Railway Business Forum "1520 Strategic Partnership: Baltic Region", which will be held in the 140 anniversary year of Estonian Railways, will be an important step in developing not only the Baltic Sea regional cooperation, but also the entire "Space 1520" and will help consolidate the efforts of businesses, government bodies and international organizations to develop optimal solutions to the problems now facing the industry.
