UfM Transport Ministerial Conference

9 February 2023. The 2^nd Ministerial Conference on Transport of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM), will be held virtually on Thursday, 9 February 2023, starting at 9h30 (Brussels time) – 11h30 (Amman time). The Ministerial Conference will be co-presided by the European Commissioner for Transport, Adina Vâlean and the Minister of Transport of Jordan, Eng. Maher Hamdi Abuelsamen, in the presence of the UfM Secretary General, Nasser Kamel. The Ministerial Conference will acknowledge the progress achieved in fulfilling the objectives of the Euro-Mediterranean cooperation in the sector, as defined at the last Transport Ministerial Conference in 2013.

The UfM’s overall aim in the field of transport connectivity is gradual and solid progress towards developing an integrated, multimodal, efficient, interoperable, sustainable and resilient, as well as cleaner and more inclusive, transport network in the Euro-Mediterranean region, with the ultimate goal of achieving deeper regional integration.

The Ministerial Declaration on Transport, the Evaluation Report of Regional Transport Action Plan 2014-2020 and the new Regional Transport Action Plan (2021-2027), expected to be adopted at the Ministerial Conference, will provide collective political momentum to these key goals.
