Thirteen Saudi entities working in the transportation and logistics services are highlighting the Kingdom’s infrastructure development in the maritime, land, air and rail sectors at China’s International Transportation and Logistics Expo (CITLE), underway in Shanghai from June 25-27.

Saudi Arabia witnessed rapid progress in the transportation and logistics services sector after it developed a national strategy in 2021 that defines the country’s ambitious path and goals to consolidate its position as a global logistics hub linking the three continents.

Entities participating in the Shanghai exhibition include the Ministry of Transport and Logistics Services, the Ministry of Investment, the National Industrial Development and Logistics Services Program (NIDLP), the General Authority of Civil Aviation, the Transport General Authority, as well as the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority, and other bodies concerned with transportation and logistics services.

The participation of Saudi government entities aims to shed light on the progress achieved and work to promote cooperation with local and international markets with the aim to develop the sector, take advantage of the Kingdom’s distinctive geographical location, and enact regulations and legislation to create a stimulating and attractive investment environment that will transform Riyadh into a global logistics platform.

The expo is considered Asia’s leading trade fair for logistics, transportation, information technology and supply chain management. It also serves as a business platform for the logistics and transportation industry and features comprehensive programs and a number of conferences.
