The forum is set to attract 300 delegates, including 170 foreign participants like government officials of EST member countries, representatives from international organisations, scholars and UN experts.

Issues to be discussed at the 12th EST Forum will include the role of women in developing rural transport; the future role of the EST and smart, resilient and sustainable city development; and the raising of vehicle emission standards and benefits of inspection and maintenance.
