At the noon of October 14, 2014 (local time in Moscow), Premier Li Keqiang delivered a speech at the international forum of "open innovation" in Moscow before coming to the exhibition booth for China's high speed train with the Russian Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev, which allowed CSR's CRH380A high speed train to become the focus of promotion by Premier Li Keqiang for a second time.  


When Li and Medvedev stopped before the CRH380A model on the exhibition booth, Wang Jun, vice president of CSR first presented the CRH380A HST model to Medvedev and told the Russian Prime Minister that his trip to the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) in 2011 was by the CRH380A HST. Medvedev said, "It was very comfortable." Wang also indicated to both leaders that CSR's high speed train was very safe and reliable, and up to the present, it had been in safe operation for more than 750 million kilometers. Both leaders expressed approval to the CRH380A HST and communicated on issues like the operating environment for the Russian high speed train and so forth.    


Presently the CRH380A high speed train is the only HST model that has been included in China's export order. In 2010, it also passed the appraisal by the U.S. Davis Law Firm and more than 900 patent researches by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. During his visits to Thailand, East Europe and Africa for introduction of China's HST in the past two years, Premier Li Keqing would always bring along the CRH380A HST. During his visit to CSR's Zhuzhou base on July 4, Li said, "Wherever I go, I will never forget to introduce CSR", which showed his good wishes in CSR's pioneering role of enabling China's equipment to "go global".      

Vice Premier Wang Yang and Liu Yandong also came before China's HST exhibition booth to have a cordial talk with Wang Jun, Ma Yunshuang, general manager of CSR Sifang Co., Ltd. and Gong Ming, president of the Central Institute of CSR, etc. 


On the afternoon of October 14th, Wan Gang, Minster of the Ministry of Science and Technology gave a speech entitled Innovation Policy Interaction between Partner Countries. After the meeting, Wan Gang and Fursenko, consultant of the president of the Russian Federation came before the HST exhibition booth, to whom Wang Jun primarily introduced the high speed train of CSR. Wang pointed out that the CRH380A HST, as a key program of the national science and technology supporting plan, was out of joint research and the innovation mode of production, research and application, and the product had shown excellent technical performance and reliable operation. Besides, Wan Gang, Fursenko and Wang Jun exchanged ideas on the pneumatics of HST, and Fursenko also expressed approval to China's achievements in its HST technological innovation.   


During the exhibition, the CRH380A HST had become the focus of Russian media. Ding Sansan, deputy chief engineer of CSR Sifang Co., Ltd. were interviewed by the Russian State Television and other media.
