I take great pleasure in extending a cordial invitation to surface transportation professionals worldwide to visit Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, on the occasion of the 17th IRF World Meeting. This event will set new standards of excellence and will bring together a wide range of internationally recognized leaders and experts of the highest caliber, who will meet to discuss and

develop strategies to address industry challenges and stakeholder needs.

Riyadh is a vibrant, modern city and its population warm and welcoming. We have a long tradition of hospitality in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and I, in my dual capacity of Mayor of Riyadh and Chairman of the IRF, can guarantee that your visit will be extremely productive, enjoyable, comfortable and safe.

I look forward to welcoming you to Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia, and to the 17th IRF World Meeting and Exhibition.

eng. Abdullah A. Al-mogbelChairmanInternational Road FederationMayor of RiyadhKingdom of Saudi Arabia

Roads play a vital role in the economic development of all nations. It is a well-established fact that a poor road network hampers economic and social progress; therefore, in these challenging economic times, investments in the road sector can benefit the whole of society by providing access to markets, jobs, education, healthcare and other services, by lowering the cost of

moving goods, and – my personal passion – by saving lives and avoiding injuries in unnecessary accidents.

The 17th IRF World Meeting will provide a unique forum for sharing the latest industry technologies, solutions and best practices from all over the world. Delegates will exchange knowledge and take it back to their respective countries for the benefit of their industry and societies. I will be honored by your participation in the premiere global surface transportation event of 2013!
