The meeting addressed key organizational issues related to forum preparation, the development of the business program, working with participants and partners, as well as infrastructure, information, and media support.
The First International Transport and Logistics Forum (ITLF) will be held from April 1 to 3 at the ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Centre in St. Petersburg. It is organized by the Russian Ministry of Transport and operated by the Roscongress Foundation, with the support of the Russian Government.
"The International Transport and Logistics Forum will serve as a platform for transforming strategic objectives into concrete projects and solutions. It will facilitate coordinated efforts to develop international transport corridors passing through Russia, expanding the use of the North-South International Transport Corridor, the Northern Sea Route, and the trunk infrastructure of all participating countries," emphasized Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev.
The forum's main theme, "Transport Connectivity as the Foundation of a New World Order: From Global Competition to Global Security," will be reflected in the discussions at the plenary session, the key event of the MTLF.
The International Transport and Logistics Forum will bring together deputy prime ministers and ministers from more than 60 countries to develop transport corridors, synchronize legislation, and create a unified digital transport system. "Russia offers its partners alternative, safe, and technologically advanced routes that connect countries and continents far beyond Greater Eurasia. The forum will discuss infrastructure integration, digitalization and automation of border crossings and multimodal transport, the sustainability of logistics routes, and the use of unmanned transport systems. I am confident that such multifaceted work will accelerate the process of coordinating and adopting key practical intergovernmental decisions to achieve the national development goals of both Russia and partner countries," added Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin.
Around 50 events will be held within three thematic blocks: "Logistics and Transport Industries," "Global Connectivity and Transport Corridors," and "Digitalization and the Future of Transport." Participants will discuss the integration of national transport systems into the global logistics network, the development of seamless logistics, and the digitalization of the industry to enhance the connectivity of the Eurasian transport system with countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Persian Gulf.
"The event's active business agenda is intended to become an important platform for multilateral dialogue on the further development of the global transport and logistics system and Russia's role within it. The forum implements the Russian President's instructions on the global competitiveness of transport corridors within the framework of national goals for 2030–2036 and will facilitate the search for practical solutions for creating a seamless route system, laying the foundation for the prosperity of the Eurasian continent through multilateral, mutually beneficial partnerships in the new geopolitical landscape," said Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the Russian President and Executive Secretary of the MTLF Organizing Committee.
