The International Transport and Logistics Forum opened in St. Petersburg on 1 April 2026. The event is taking place at the ‘EXPOFORUM’ Convention and Exhibition Centre from 1 to 3 April. A delegation from Turkmenistan, led by Deputy Minister of Railway Transport Sylapberdi Nurberdiyev, is taking part in the forum, reports the publication ‘Turkmenistan: Golden age’.

The forum has brought together representatives of international organisations, transport and logistics companies, as well as port and warehouse infrastructure providers. Participants are discussing the development of international transport corridors, freight and passenger logistics, digital services and the introduction of new technologies. The agenda also includes issues relating to industry regulation and the development of the transport sector.

It was noted that Turkmenistan consistently advocates the development of international dialogue in the field of transport connectivity. On the country’s initiative, the UN General Assembly has adopted a number of resolutions on transport cooperation. It was also emphasised that the first UN Global Conference on Sustainable Transport was held in Turkmenistan in 2016.

The participation of the Turkmen delegation is seen as a continuation of efforts to develop international cooperation in the transport sector.
