AsstrA-Associated Traffic AG Shanghai Branch Director Andrey Soroka commented on membership in the Alliance:
"For us, being in the Association is initially an opportunity to communicate with current and future customers and suppliers. Thanks the organization's events and the new contacts we meet at them, we will receive more relevant information on trends, prospects and changes in the Chinese railway market. This is an opportunity not only to get acquainted with "local cuisine" but also to become one of its "chefs," so to speak. At the same time, it also demonstrates our leading local position. AsstrA is among the main Chinese railway market players, and membership increases our visibility and makes the brand more recognizable for the Chinese consumer."
