Dear Exhibitors and Guests at the Exhibition:
I welcome you and congratulate you with the opening of the 18th International Exhibition Transit Kazakhstan 2014!
Our country's transportation industry is undergoing big changes in its development: the freight market reform process is continuing with its integration within the global transport system. Because of this it is hard to overestimate the role of events that make possible discussions on pertinent issues in the development of the industry, and to take a look at the newest technological breakthroughs, share experiences and expand business networks. They are especially vital in connection with the decree of the Head of State on Kazakhstan becoming a regional trade, logistics and business hub by 2016, along with the implementation of the large scale Kazakhstan-New Silk Road Project.
I can say with certainty that over the years since the inception of the Transit-Kazakhstan exhibition, it has become one of the most effective business platforms for representatives of the transport industry. I wish all the exhibitors, guests and organizers fruitful work, professional success and that you would achieve your planned objectives.
