The 2022 FIATA World Congress is being held at the most opportune time to discuss the future of logistics. The Congress has served as a venue where global logistics and freight forwarding companies explore new strategies to navigate through an ever-changing global trade environment and promote cooperation. As the head of the Ministry in charge of Korea’s logistics sector, I am deeply honored and delighted to host the FIATA World Congress in the international port city of Busan this year. The Republic of Korea is the 8th largest trading nation in the world with its trade volume reaching 1.2 trillion USD last year. Korea has expanded its global network of trade agreements with diverse countries, and is now utilizing the network to advance cross-border e-commerce and pioneer new markets such as cold-chain logistics. Korea has been actively involved in the global efforts to reduce green house gas emissions and promote carbon-neutral logistics as a responsible member of the global community. The 2022 FIATA World Congress will provide a great opportunity for the international logistics community to further advance such global and regional cooperation efforts. The Korean government, including the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Busan Metropolitan City, will do our utmost for the success of the 2022 FIATA World Congress. ==========Overviews========== Title 2022 FIATA World Congress Date 11-16 September 2022 Venue BEXCO, Busan, Republic of Korea Theme Uniting for Global Solutions Hosted by International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (FIATA) Organized by Korea International Freight Forwarders Association (KIFFA) Supported by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries Busan Metropolitan City Sponsored by EUNSAN SHIPPING AIRCARGO CO., LTD Korea Shipowners’ Association Busan Port Authority Ulsan Port Authority Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority Korea Maritime Institute Hana Bank Incheon International Airport TT Club Korea Tourism Organization Busan Tourism Organization Official Carrier Korean Air ============================
