CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY Ladies and gentlemen,   It is my honour to close the high-level segment of the 88th session of the Inland Transport Committee.   It is also a privilege to be among ministers and transport leaders from across regions.    Your presence here sends a powerful message:    At a time of rising tensions around the world,    countries still come together to cooperate on global solutions.    And that is precisely what the United Nations, and the UNECE in particular, represent.
