Principles of
Transport & electricityTransportation Always Takes the Easiest Way Exactly
like Electricity that takes the path that is least resistant.
• Increase in commercial transport, which leads to movement of trade and money.
• Development and prosperity• Enhance Multi cultures and promote dialogue among
civilizations • Promote World Peace.
The Expected out comes of overcoming these Challenges.
World Bank has adopted a five-point scale ( Logistics Performance Index) and was able to evaluate of the 150 countries in terms of the international supply chain performance
The five points can be categorized on the following criteria
– Customs procedures– Cost of logistics and freight transport operations– Infrastructure related to transportation operations– Time taken for the goods to reach destination– The efficiency of the local logistics industry
The Reality of Logistics in the Arab World, and how to
develop it.
Low-preforming countries , mostly of which are from developing countries, ( large number of Arab states) suffers form complexity of the procedures, poor transport services sector, and lack of investment in the sector.

What are the Responsibilities of Governments in the Silk

Government should give high political priority to promote and facilitate trade and transport in the Middle East and along the Silk Road, which will make it easier for transport companies to do business, through the implementation of the principal instruments of the United Nations to facilitate customs, standardize procedures, and dramatically reduce costly waiting times at the border.
Reducing Obstacles ……Increasing Trade
How to Practically Implement Governments Decisions on Road Transportations…
.
After taking government actions needed to facilitate Logistics , One must apply these decisions on the ground and through the
training of transport companies on establishing international standards, made by the IRU Academy “International Road Union )
In partnership with the United Nations , the European Commission and, Arab Union for Land Transport (AULT) and The World Bank.
