Dear Colleagues,

Export community considers the Transport Week to be the main industrial event of the year. I fully share this point. We can see that the interest in its event just rises.

Many previous features of the Forum and Exhibition will undergo changes. Our target is to increase the benefit from the event, and arrange for better understanding between the business and regulatory authorities of the transport sector.

The key focus will be brought on two priority areas. These are the Comprehensive Plan for Modernization and Extension of Long-Distance Infrastructure, and Safe and Quality Roads National Project.

Basically, we will respond to the question on how stepwise and efficiently move towards achievement of the target indices specified in May Decree of the President of the Russian Federation.

We have planned a series of new formats. Special meeting with the management of Russian Regions in transport agenda is among new formats for this year. Forum and Exhibition Results will be detailed within the framework of a summary plenary discussion.

Dear Colleagues, I would like to invite you for an active participation in the events. Such events are always the source of new ideas, the opportunity to learn something new and important, and broaden the horizon. I am sure that our dialogue will bear fruit.

It will be great to see you at the Transport Week!

Evgeny Ditrich
Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation
