Dear Ambassador,
Please find attached the invitations, along with a draft agenda and the online registration form for the
High-level meeting on Safe International Travel, from the Spanish Minister of Industry, Trade, and
Tourism, Ms. María Reyes Maroto Illera, and the Secretary-General, Mr. Mathias Cormann.
The High-level meeting on Safe International Travel is planned as an in-person event in Ibiza, Spain, on 7-
8 July 2022. We would be most grateful if you could forward this information to your Minister of Health
and your Minister of Tourism (or the ministers in charge of the subject). We strongly encourage
delegations to include representatives from both sectors.
This event was initially designed as a G20 meeting, involving the Indonesian Ministry of Health and the
Spanish Ministry of Industry and Tourism, drawing from the alignment of the OECD Initiative on Safe
International Mobility and the OECD support to the G20 Health Working Group, which, among other goals,
aims to achieve health information systems connectivity from different countries for international travel.
However, as you are well aware, the OECD Council has suspended the involvement of Russia in all its
activities, but Russia remains part of the G20. As a result, the meeting will no longer be hosted by Spain,
the OECD, and the Health Working Group of Indonesia's G20 Presidency, but rather by OECD and Spain
alone, in support of the G20 Presidency. Strong policies to enable safe international travel continue to
require the discussions and participation of policymakers from both health and tourism sectors, and
support from this meeting continues to draw on the expertise of the OECD Secretariat in health, tourism,
transport and other areas of policy.
Should you or your ministers have any questions, please feel free to contact the OECD Directorate for
Employment, Labour and Social Affairs at
[email protected]
We are very much hoping that Estonia will participate in the High-level meeting on Safe International
Travel, and request to receive confirmation by 17 May 2022 on who will participate, the designated
Representative(s) by filling the online registration form, and providing the contact details of Assistants or
Advisors to follow up on their participation.
Kind regards,
Stefano Scarpetta
Director
Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs
