Vitaly Savelyev held a meeting of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of the International Transport and Logistics Forum.
In Moscow, a meeting of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of the International Transport and Logistics Forum, which will be held in the spring of 2026 in St. Petersburg, was held under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev.
The event was attended by representatives of federal ministries and departments, heads of major transport companies, as well as industry experts and partners.
“The focus is on the development of international transport corridors, including the North-South ITC, strengthening integration ties within the Union State, the EAEU, the CIS, improving the regulatory framework at the level of global industry regulators, as well as using the potential of such organizations as the SCO and BRICS. Our task is to ensure a high level of preparation and organization of all forum events,” noted Vitaly Savelyev.
The forum, which will be held in St. Petersburg at the end of April 2026, will become a new strategic platform for a comprehensive discussion of the development of transport logistics, international corridors, legal regulation, digitalization and the implementation of innovative solutions in the transport industry. The Roscongress Foundation has been appointed as the forum operator.
“We hold many events in the transport sector throughout the year, and with the advent of such a forum, we will be able to clearly structure the annual cycle: in the spring – the international logistics agenda, in the fall – the domestic Russian agenda, as part of the Transport Week. This will allow us to represent Russia’s interests in a coordinated manner at various levels – from the EU and the CIS to BRICS and the SCO,” added Transport Minister Roman Starovoit.
During the meeting, it was proposed to begin an immediate invitation campaign for foreign and Russian partners. Also in the plans is the development of a corporate style for the forum, the launch of an official website, the formation of a working architecture of the program and the determination of the venue.
“In this format, we implement the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation to ensure the global competitiveness of our transport corridors, including the implementation of decrees within the framework of national goals until 2030 with a perspective until 2036. The forum is in demand – our international partners have repeatedly said this. We see a high interest in creating such a platform, especially in the inter-forum period, when it will be possible to continue substantive work. Today, the architecture of the forum, including its program content, is being formed with the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other departments. This will not be just an event – it will be a point of attraction for advanced solutions, a demonstration of industry achievements and an international dialogue on logistics and infrastructure,” said Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia, Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee.
