Morocco to Display Transportation Resilience at Leipzig Global Summit
Rabat — Morocco is participating in the World Summit of the International Transport Forum (ITF) in Leipzig, Germany, to be held on May 21-23. A delegation from Morocco's Ministry of Transport and Logistics is set to attend the forum, which focuses on making transportation networks more resilient during global crises. 'Transport Resilience in the Face of Global Shocks' serves as the central theme for this year's summit, with discussions exploring how governments and operators can maintain transportation networks during major disruptions like pandemics, natural disasters, cyberattacks, and geopolitical tensions. Morocco brings valuable experience to the summit, recently hosting the 4th World Ministerial Conference on Road Safety in Marrakech, which led to the formulation of the Marrakech Declaration – a joint agreement aiming to cut road deaths in half by 2030. The Marrakech Declaration also establishes concrete measures for accelerating the implementation of the Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030. Moroccan officials will present the progress made since the creation of the Marrakech Declaration, as well as display national initiatives like the creation of the National Road Safety Agency (Narsa), established to coordinate the country's road safety and resilience efforts. The Leipzig event will bring together representatives from 69 member countries under Chilean leadership, with a program that tackles transportation challenges during disruptions from three perspectives: users, transport providers, and governance or financing stakeholders. Topics include securing infrastructure, maintaining operations during disruptions, and implementing policies that strengthen the sector's resilience. As a key event for global mobility policies, the ITF Summit attracts high-level government officials alongside transportation industry leaders and civil society representatives. The summit also features side events and press conferences, giving participating countries opportunities to share their transportation achievements and priorities on the global stage.
