Igor Levitin
Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation 

On behalf of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation I send greetings to the participants, guests and organisers of the VIII International Conference “Transport Services Market: Cooperation and Partnership”.

Strengthening the presence of the national transport system in the international transport and logistics system, improving the quality of services offered, a flexible pricing policy and innovations in the transport industry are defining factors in the successful economic growth of the country and in ensuring its security. In today’s economic conditions it is necessary to focus the efforts of business and the state to create effective and competitive measures which will ensure the economically efficient functioning of the transport system.

I regard the VIII International Conference “Transport Services Market: Cooperation and Partnership” as an important arena for assessing results and developing new direction vectors for the development of the transport industry.

I wish the participants and guests of the conference success in fulfilling their objectives.

 Minister of Transport of Russian Federation        Igor Levitin
