Mr Sokolov inspected the city transport infrastructure facilities to check their preparedness for the G20 Summit, and toured the Moskovsky Railway Station, the Marine Facade Port, the English Embankment passenger terminal, and Pulkovo Airport.
Upon the minister’s estimates, all of the work has been performed on schedule and will be completed soon.
