The meeting featured a presentation of a COMCEC-supported research project. The presentation outlined the scope, conceptual framework, and methodology for developing integrated multimodal transport systems in OIC countries. It also presented preliminary findings from case studies conducted in Egypt, Azerbaijan, and Türkiye, as well as selected examples from the Netherlands and Viet Nam.

The meeting also provided an opportunity for OIC countries to exchange their experiences and perspectives. Representatives from Malaysia, Oman, Türkiye, and Uganda shared their ongoing efforts and challenges. Additionally, the International Road Transportation Union (IRU) provided valuable insights based on its experience in designing and supporting multimodal transport systems, offering a broader perspective to the discussions.
