Friends,
I am greeting you at the Fourth International Rail Salon of Engineering and Technologies EXPO 1520.
Your forum is rightly considered to be a major event in the railway transport sector. It has gained an elite business reputation as an open discussion platform for urgent professional problems and development prospects in this priority sector. We can see here the engineering and construction achievements of recent years, state-of-the-art specimens of railway equipment developed by Russian and foreign companies.
At present, we especially need initiatives aimed at introducing the most modern innovative technology, additional investments and large-scale infrastructure projects to be implemented.
I believe that EXPO 1520 will help to modernise the national railway sector and make it really advanced, meeting the competitive economy and generally adopted safety and ecological standards.
I wish you productive work, fruitful talks and all the best.
Dmitry Medvedev
