The group is expected to attend an Organization for Cooperation between Railways (OSJD) conference from April 24-28th alongside top rail officials from China, Russia and 25 other member states.

The project is also part of Park Geun Hye’s “Eurasia Initiative” that aims to link energy and logistics infrastructure across the continent.
