19 March 2012
Russian Railways CEO Vladimir Yakunin was in London this past week, addressing the British Guild of Travel and Tourism, and announcing that Russian Railways will soon begin a road show to sell 70 billion rubles worth of ruble-denominated bonds and raise another 30 billion rubles ($1 billion) through foreign currency-denominated eurobond issues.
Yakunin took the opportunity to tell his British audience, "I am certain that the prospects for extending our railways to Kamchatka and beyond, to connect with North American railways through a tunnel, are a project that can be realized in the not very remote future," the business daily Vzglyad reported.
