Second Railway Development congress held in Warsaw

Opening the 2nd Railway Development Congress at Warsaw's National Stadium on Wednesday, President Andrzej Duda described the railway as being of strategic importance to Polish industry, the military and the whole national economy. Duda went on to say the railway has and will continue to have significance for the shaping of policy and gaining an advantage, including on the international arena. "Looking at the history of the last 30 years, it can be said that the railway first found itself in great decline and later slowly started to come back," the president said, expressing hope that the railway would "pick up speed" and that in the coming decade "no one could stop this train."
