TunisiaMediterranean Transport Ministers call for reinforced cooperation in transport and logistics
In the framework of the Ninth Conference of Group of Transport Ministers of the Western Mediterranean (GTMO 5+5) held in Nouakchott (Mauritania) on 11-12 December 2018, the Ministers welcomed the leading role of the UfM in the promotion of regional cooperation, dialogue and the implementation of projects contributing to regional development, stability and integration, and reaffirmed their desire for continued exchange and cooperation in transport and logistics, with a view to provide practical answers to sustainable development in the region.
On this occasion, Ministers endorsed the final Declaration, recognizing the so-called UfM-isation of the Euro-Mediterranean Transport Cooperation following the adoption of the UfM Roadmap by the Foreign Affairs Ministers in January 2017, and agreed to continue to actively participate in UfM initiatives and projects in the framework of the UfM Regional Platform on Transport Connectivity and its Working Groups.
In addition, the conference highlighted the joint work carried out on concrete transport projects, namely the Completion of the Central Section of the Trans-Maghreb Motorway Axis project, promoted by GTMO 5+5, and the LOGISMED Training Activities (LOGISMED-TA) project, endorsed by the 43 UfM Member countries.
