Roman Starovoyt, Minister of Transport of Russia, presented the time capsule to Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the RUSSIA EXPO. It holds models of future transport developed by domestic neural networks. The capsule will be placed at the Russia National Centre.

"Since November 20, the exposition has been visited by over half a million people - more precisely, over 570,000 visitors. Our pavilion has set records too - over 32,000 visitors in one week. On January 20, we recorded the highest figure - more than 8,000 visitors in a day. And these are just the main figures that are impressive," said Roman Starovoyt.

Natalia Virtuozova emphasized that the transport industry is one of the drivers of Russia's modernization today.

"You have created one of the best expositions at the RUSSIA EXPO. What the ministry is doing today is propelling our country forward by leaps and bounds. I bow low to you," noted Natalia Virtuozova, addressing the representatives of the Ministry of Transport.

During his visit to the Exposition, the Minister of Transport inspected the pavilion of the agency "Russia in Motion" and awarded partners, exhibitors and employees with commemorative insignia.

President Vladimir Putin signed a directive on July 1 for the establishment of the Russia National Centre. Over the next three months, the constituent entities will present plans for establishing its branches.
