''Our joint with the Russian Export Center railway export service Panda Land Bridge is constantly developing, with new routes emerging. It covers more and more cities in China and Russia. We already have the experience in shipments from Moscow, Samara, Kazan and Krasnoyarsk to Chengdu, Beijing and Shanghai. The agreement, which was signed today, gives a new impulse to the cooperation of RZD Logistics and REC. I’m convinced that the agreement will contribute to the increase of Russian non-resource products traffic to China, South-Eastern Asia, Iran, India and other countries”, – emphasized CEO of RZD Logistics Viacheslav Valentik after the signing ceremony.
“Our task is to reveal railway transit potential of Russia, as this can have critical importance not only for Russian companies, but also for foreign partners who are interested in it in the framework of “One belt, one road” initiative. Our joint project with RZD Logistics on the organization of export railway routes from Russia to China is one of the ways to achieve goals that have been set. And we are glad that the project is actively evolving and expanding by additional services for companies-exporters”, – noted Mikhail Mamonov, Managing Director of International Projects of Russian Export Center.
