Greetings to participants in opening the first section of Yuzhnouralsky Transport and Logistics Complex

May 15, 2015

Vladimir Putin sent his greetings to those taking part in the opening of the first section of the Yuzhnouralsky Transport and Logistics Complex, which will serve freight traffic in the transport corridor linking Russia and China.

The message reads, in part:

“It is symbolic that this important event is taking place in the year when Russia holds the  Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’s Presidency. The Yuzhnouralsky Transport and Logistics Complex, which was designed and built by companies from Russia’s Chelyabinsk Region and China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous District, with active support from the SCO, is a vivid illustration of the effective interregional cooperation that we are developing within this multilateral organisation.

Launching this major infrastructure complex marks an important stage in improving transport links in the SCO area. I am sure that the experience gained during the complex’s construction and operation will be used to further develop productive cooperation between the SCO countries’ regions and business communities.”
