Welcome Letters
Dmitry Medvedev, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation
Dear friends,
I send you my greetings at the International Rail Salon of Engineering and Technologies EXPO 1520.
Your forum is rightly considered one of the biggest events in the world of rail transport. It has earned a distinguished business reputation as an open discussion arena where important professional issues are aired, along with the prospects for the future development of this industry, which is one of the most important in our country. This is an event where the achievements of engineering and design thinking of recent years are displayed, together with the latest models of railway equipment developed by both Russin and foreign companies.
There is a particular demand today for initiatives aimed at applying modern innovative technologies in the railway system, for generating additional investment, and for undertaking large-scale infrastructure projects.
I am convinced that EXPO 1520 will assist the modernisation of the Russian railway system. It will help to make it a truly cutting-edge system which meets the requirements of a competitive economy and generally accepted standards of safety and environmental protection.
I wish you productive work, fruitful discussions, and all the very best.
Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev
