Senior Programme Officer (Transport)
The Greater Tumen Initiative (GTI) (originally known as the Tumen River Area Development Programme –TRADP), is an intergovernmental cooperation mechanism in Northeast Asia, supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), with a membership of four countries: People’s Republic of China, Republic of Korea, Mongolia and Russian Federation. In 1995, member governments signed formal agreements to establish the intergovernmental cooperation mechanism, aimed at strengthening economic and technical cooperation, and attaining greater growth and sustainable development for the peoples and countries in Northeast Asia and the Tumen River area in particular. Since its creation, the Tumen Programme has remained a unique intergovernmental platform for economic cooperation, fostering peace, stability and sustainable development in Northeast Asia. It is playing a significant role in expanding policy dialogue and strengthening a business-friendly environment in the region, therefore contributing to the improvement of living standards through the development of infrastructure and the promotion of trade and investment. In 2005, the Programme was revitalized as a Greater Tumen Initiative (GTI), with expanded geographical coverage and full ownership of the member states. At present, GTI focuses on the promotion of regional cooperation between the member states in the key sectors of economy: energy, transport, tourism, trade & investment and environment as a cross-cutting sector. To promote the cooperation in transport sector, the GTI Transport Board has been established by the 10th CC meeting. The Inaugural Meeting of the Transport Board was successfully held in July 2010 in Busan, ROK. The GTI Transport Cooperation Program for 2010 -2012 was adopted. At 11thCC meeting the member states recognized that the transport infrastructure is one of fundamental elements for the regional economic development and committed to concrete actions for enhancing cooperation in this sector. In this regard, the governments stressed the need of preparing the Integrated Transport Development Plan for the transport corridors in the Greater Tumen Region.
