HE the Minister of Transport Jassim Seif Ahmed al-Sulaiti Tuesday met the executive secretary of UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), Olga Algayerova, in Geneva on the sidelines of the 85th Session of the Inland Transport Committee (ITC) of the UNECE. The minister discussed ways to enhance Qatar-UN co-operation in transportation. Inland transportation solutions, particularly those relating to harnessing their potentials in the global action against climate change, were also discussed. HE al-Sulaiti highlighted the Eco-friendly Transportation Master Plan for Qatar where sustainability is a key foundation. Qatar is one of the world’s high-ranking countries in clean transport thanks to an integrated, multimodal transit system with environment-conscious services such as the metro, trams, and e-buses, in addition to upgrading the specifications of truck and equipment engines to EURO5-equivalent clean diesel fuel, thus achieving the objectives of the National Vision 2030. Qatar’s Permanent Representative to the UN Office at Geneva, Dr Hend Abdalrahman al-Muftah, also attended the meeting.
