The President of Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin took part in 68th Session of the General Assembly of the International Union of Railways held in Montreal from 6-9 June 2006.
Yakunin noted that “this session of the General Assembly has become a major event since it took the decision to accept Russian Railways as a fully-fledged member of the International Union of Railways. So 58 years after Russia was involved at the foundation of the IUR and then withdrew, it has once again become a member of this authoritative and professional transportation organisation.
