Andrey Lebedev, Vice-President for the South Asia Projects of ASE Group of Companies (as part of Rosatom), pointed out that: “The Festival of Science will first of all promote development of international relations rather than facilitate the public access to the site of scientific knowledge or be a tool of generating ideas for the future.  Kudankulam NPP is a symbol of the Russian-Indian relations in the nuclear power. It is our hope that the Russian-Indian cooperation will see the successful progress in future and the Festival will help to answer participants’ topical nuclear questions.” “The Festival is to enable the participants to learn how nuclear technologies raise the human livings standards, they will learn about up-to-date methods of their use and their role in the  national  growth”, Alexey Pimenov, Regional Vice-President “ROSATOM – South Asia” added.
