Building the Trans-Asian railway network will let Russia turn into the key transportation bridge between Europe and Asia – this perspective is based on the conference of ministers held in the South Korean city Pusan, November 10-11. The agenda of the conference is transport in the Asia-Pacific Region. The meeting is expected to result in signing a packet of documents, including first of all the intergovernmental agreement on Trans-Asian railway networks with two railways planned to cross the territory of Russia. This is going to be Trans-Siberian railway and the corridor “North-South” built to connect Europe, Central Asian countries, and the Persian Gulf.
