Distinguished ladies and gentlemen!
For the current social development in the era of globalization, many issues that have arisen need to be solved by uniting the efforts of the international community, particularly in the areas of transport and education. For adapting to the requirements for rapid development in modern society, an integrated global transport network is urgently needed to simplify routes and optimize the time and cost of freight and passenger transport.
In these aspects, it is necessary to combine the scientific research, teaching and production work in the transportation sector internationally and integrate the efforts paid by all the members in the sector to jointly research and develop new scientific research directions and projects. The integration of science, technology and production in railway development is one of the goals to establish the International Association of Transport Universities of Asian-pacific Countries.
The countries of the Asian-Pacific region play a strategic role in the global transportation network, highlighting the significance of various activities held by the Association in the region.
Currently, the transport universities from China, South Korea, Kazakhstan, Russia, Australia and Mongolia now join our big family as the members of the International Association.
Our Association is open to all new members. It is my belief that our endeavor, knowledge and potential are not only able to promote the development of transport industry in various regions and countries, but also contribute to the world’s transport development.
