RE: International Transport Forum’s 2023 Summit
Dear Minister,
The 2023 ITF Summit on Transport Enabling Sustainable Economies, under the Presidency of the United
Kingdom, brought together more than 1200 participants from over 80 countries – an international
community of leaders, experts and change-makers, including 49 Ministers and Vice-Ministers
responsible for transport.
On behalf of the 2023 ITF Presidency and member Ministers, could I express my sincere regret that
you were unable to personally attend this year’s Summit. Nevertheless, the participation of Mr.
Sander SALMU, Vice Minister for Transportation, was very much appreciated.
The Summit programme provided a platform for insightful conversations on the role of transport as
an enabler of economic growth that also drives environmental and social sustainability. These
exchanges have inspired all of us to continue our efforts in shaping better policies for more sustainable
transport and mobility.
Summit participants engaged with more than 110 speakers in 23 sessions of the official programme.
The Summit also featured an annex programme with 42 events and meetings.
Ministers, Vice Ministers, and Heads of Delegation availed of many opportunities to highlight both
national and international initiatives and showcase transport achievements with regard to economic
growth and sustainability.
A summary of all substantive outputs from the Summit and session summaries, video recordings,
photos, and other resources will be soon available on the Summit website: https://summit.itf-
oecd.org/2023/.
My staff and I would be pleased to personally brief you on the outcomes of the Summit and discuss
other opportunities for engagement with the ITF. We look forward to your participation in next year’s
Summit on Greening Transport: Keeping Focus in Times of Crisis, 22-24 May 2024 in Leipzig, Germany,
under the Presidency of Lithuania.
