Moscow, August 5 (Xinhua) — The BRICS motor rally from Yekaterinburg to Moscow will take place from August 9 to 15, the organizers of the motor rally announced at a press conference in Moscow on Tuesday.
The event is timed to coincide with the opening of a new section of the M-12 "Vostok" highway Dyurtyuli – Achit. The section, more than 275 km long, opened in mid-July, became a continuation of the high-speed highway from St. Petersburg to Yekaterinburg.
"The launch of this road is one of the key links in the implementation of the project to create the international transport corridor "West-East". Of course, the launch of this project will have a huge socio-economic effect on the entire transport system of the country," said Igor Koval, First Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Russian state company "Avtodor". According to him, the key objective of the motor rally is to demonstrate to foreign partners the achievements in the development of the road and transport infrastructure of Russia.
The 1,600 km route will pass through the territory of six Russian regions. During the motor rally, business and cultural events are planned, during which participants will be able to get acquainted with the industrial, investment, tourism and cultural potential of the subjects of the Russian Federation.
50 cars have applied to participate in the rally. Representatives of 20 BRICS countries and partner countries have already confirmed their participation.
As Chairman of the Union of Chinese Entrepreneurs in Russia Zhou Liqun emphasized, the upcoming BRICS motor rally is an event of high international level. He reported that many Chinese companies operating in Russia supported this project. “The motor rally is not only an example of business cooperation, but also humanitarian and cultural interaction between Russia, China and the BRICS countries. I sincerely wish that the BRICS motor rally will unite us not only as a business community, but also as true friends,” he added, proposing to make this event annual.
The main organizers of the motor rally were the National Association of Infrastructure Companies (NAIC) and the state company Avtodor. The project was supported by the BRICS Business Council, the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. –0–
