"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.
The

business and educational program await the guests. The expositions of 89
Russian regions, leading federal agencies, corporations and public
organizations are presented to the visitors. The International RUSSIA EXPO
takes place on the territory of VDNH in Moscow from November 4 to July 8.
