World Transport Corridors: Integration and Seamless Logistics

April, 1
10:00–11:30
Plenary Discussion. Forum Opening Ceremony
Global Connectivity and Transport Corridors
Congress Centre, Congress Hall
In the context of a shifting global order and accelerating economic and technological cycles, international transport corridors are becoming more than just logistics routes – they are key instruments for ensuring predictability, security, and economic connectivity among countries. Logistics is evolving from an economic function into a tool for strategic deterrence and the formation of spheres of influence. Such an approach is not pragmatic and contributes to the fragmentation of the global community. Russia, in contrast, offers its partners safe and reliable transport routes, as well as unique engineering and construction expertise, backed by decades of experience building transport infrastructure in harsh natural and climatic conditions, and working under conditions that are based on trust and continuous dialogue. How important is it to synchronize national transport infrastructure development plans? What is needed to avoid duplication of investment, optimize routes, and ensure that international transport corridors operate at maximum efficiency to provide seamless logistics and deliver mutual benefits for all participating countries?
