With the objective of demonstrating the renewed interest and commitment of Asian countries towards realizing
a promising decade (2010-2020) of sustainable actions and measures for achieving safe, secure, affordable,
efficient, and people and environmentally friendly transport in rapidly urbanizing Asia, the participating
countries of the Forum discussed and agreed on a goodwill and voluntary declaration - “Bangkok Declaration

among international community the progress and achievements made, including various challenges faced, by
countries in implementing each of the underlined goals. This would also help development agencies, donors,
and MDBs in assessing the sustainable transport needs and challenges to better devise their existing as well as
future capacity building programs and operations in sustainable transport.
