Mowasalat (Karwa) hosted the 70th round of the Board of Directors of the Arab Union of Land Transport (AULT) meeting in Doha this week, under the patronage of the Minister of Transport HE Jassim Saif Ahmed Al-Sulaiti who is also the president of the 36th Session of the Council of Arab Transport Ministers.
AULT is a pan-Arab organisation comprising the largest Arab passenger and cargo transportation companies. The meeting was also attended by the Chairman of the AULT Board of Directors, Engineer Khaled A Al Hogail, Secretary-General Malek Haddad and members of the Board of Directors.
Supporting common Arab action
HE Minister Al-Sulaiti stressed the importance of supporting common Arab action to further develop the transportation industry, to achieve sustainable development and pan-Arab economic growth.
He wished for a successful meeting, wrapping up with outcomes that can further enhance public-private sector cooperation in transportation and mobility, the smooth exchange of goods and enhancing pan-Arab trade.
The minister pointed to the efforts of the different ministries and relevant entities in all Arab countries to develop the sector and emphasised that during the 36th Session of the Council in Alexandria last month, addressing and resolving all challenges in the transportation sector was very important.
The meeting also discussed key land transportation projects at the regional and pan-Arab levels, including supporting the AULT’s plans to establish a database for ground safety in Arab countries and developing drivers through training courses on hazardous materials transportation, in conjunction with the International Road Transport Union (IRU).
