The message reads, in part:
'Russia has the right to be proud of its history of helicopter development, its traditions, outstanding scientists, builders and testers who have contributed to the development of the industry. It is only logical that Russia hold the fourth professional exhibition of the newest engineering achievements, advanced technology and services provided by both Russian and foreign companies.
The extensive HeliRussia programme will showcase recent developments, offer a format for the exchange of useful experience, and generally discuss a range of relevant industry issues.
I am convinced that the exhibition will promote the creative potential of the Russian helicopter industry, and promote Russian products on the global market.
