Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich suggests China participate in the construction of a high speed railway from Samara, the sixth largest city in southwest Russia, to Tolyatti, on March 24, 2016.

According to Dvorkovich, the Russian side has met with National Railway Administration of China. They discussed about the design of a railway from Moscow to Kazan, which was undertaken by the Chinese side. As the design work is going well and smoothly, the Chinese constructors expressed their hope to participate in more railway projects in Russia.

Deputy PM Arkady Dvorkovich mentioned the construction of a new high speed railway from Samara to Tolyatti in southwest Russia which will pass the Kurumoch International Airport, and said that China is welcomed to take a part.

“Undoubtedly, this is a very attractive project,” Dvorkovich said. “And we will have several more promising railway construction projects in the near future,” he added.
