Kuwait City, September 22 (KUNA) -- Minister of Public Works Dr. Noura Al-Mashaan conducted a field visit to a worker city implemented by a Chinese state-owned company, on the sidelines of her trip to the People’s Republic of China to participate in the 2026 Global Forum on Sustainable Transport. The Ministry of Public Works said in a press statement on Tuesday that Al-Mashaan reviewed the facilities of the worker city and its implementation model, as well as the company nominated by the Chinese government to execute worker cities in Kuwait, in accordance with a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the two countries on this matter. She added that the MoU is one of seven memoranda of understanding signed by His Highness the Amir of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, may God protect and support him, with the government of the People’s Republic of China in 2023. Earlier, Al-Mashaan stressed in her speech at the Global Forum on Sustainable Transport in the capital, Beijing, the importance of developing modern and sustainable transport infrastructure as a fundamental pillar for achieving the goals of “Kuwait Vision 2035,” noting that sustainable transport represents a balance between environmental responsibility, economic viability, accessibility, and operational efficiency. The forum, organized by the Global Center for Sustainable Transport Innovation and Knowledge under China’s Ministry of Transport, comes within the framework of efforts to support the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety 2035 (2026–2035). It aims to build international consensus on a safe, efficient, green, inclusive, and resilient transport system. The forum discusses five main themes: deepening global initiatives, enhancing connectivity, building an integrated transport system, prioritizing green transport, leveraging artificial intelligence in transport, and ensuring universal access to sustainable transport services.
