MILAN, Italy — The Canadian government will provide C$300,000 to the International Transport Forum to help rebuilding of Ukraine’s road and rail network, Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez announced last week at a meeting of the G7 Transport Ministers.
The funding, under the Clean Transportation System program, will focus on aiding greener intercity and international travel during the reconstruction process.
The April 11-13 meeting also gave Rodriguez a chance to discuss Canada’s emphasis on supply-chain resiliency and to share Canada’s best practices and hear from other G& countries on innovation, supply-chain crisis management, and energy transition. “Having a seat at these meetings is an opportunity to develop and strengthen these relationships, and to promote Canadian priorities to advance a strong transportation sector,” Rodriguez said in a press release.
The minsters’ joint declaration resulting from the meeting is available here.
The meetings also aided Canada’s preparation for presidency of the G7 in 2025. Other G7 members are the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the European Union.
