MINSK, 3 June (BelTA) - Belarus and Russia discussed the prospects for seamless cross-border passenger rail service, BelTA learned from the press service of the Belarusian Railways.
Representatives of the Belarusian Railways, as part of a delegation from the Transport and Communications Ministry led by First Deputy Minister Grigory Glazko, took part in a meeting of the High-Level Group of the Union State Council of Ministers. The meeting discussed issues related to the organization of suburban rail service with the border administrative centers of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation.
