Russian Transportation Minister Igor Levitin began his working trip to
France by visiting Toulouse, which is the key centre of West European
aerospace industry.
Levitin arrived in France on an invitation of his French counterpart
Dominique Perben.
In Toulouse, the Russian minister met with Airbus Company executives.
The company built more than 4,300 jets for its clients during 35
years of its activity.
At present, Airbus occupies the leading positions on the market of
commercial aviation.
Levitin plans to return to Paris late Wednesday night.
On Thursday, Levitin expects to hold talks at the French Ministry of
Transport, Infrastructure, Tourism and Marine Affairs.
The minister also plans to meet with head of the Paris airport and
open a seminar of the Russian-French Dialogue Association.
The French experience in controlling traffic speed on highways
will be among the key topics during the Paris talks, Transportation
Minister's press secretary Svetlana Kryshtanovskaya told Itar-Tass on
Wednesday. The French experience in this sphere is of great interest
for Russia.
The visit will end on Friday, July 7.
On Friday, Levitin will give Russian awards to French participants
in a rescue operation in the beach city of Sochi on the Black Sea,
where an A-320 jet of Armenian Airlines crashed this May.
The awarding ceremony will be held in the residence of Russian
Ambassador to France.
