Toward a connected and inclusive transport model
A key highlight was a forum with over 40 Chinese rail companies, where Colombia presented its national vision for sustainable mobility in Colombia, emphasizing railway revitalization. These discussions echo the focus of the Latam Mobility summit, which will gather public and private leaders to map out the region’s sustainable transport strategies.
The Minister also visited China’s National Railway Administration, along with ProColombia and Colombia’s Embassy, to deepen technical and regulatory cooperation. These insights will inform her opening address in Medellín, sparking conversations on how public policy can drive smart mobility solutions.
Technology, investment and international cooperation
Rojas also met with companies such as BYD, Foton, and China Energy, all interested in supporting sustainable mobility in Colombia through electric vehicles, clean infrastructure, and tech development. Visits to SAIC Motors and the Port of Shanghai explored further logistical and commercial opportunities.
All these advancements feed directly into the narrative of Latam Mobility Colombia 2025, which will serve as a platform to showcase this international momentum and build partnerships that accelerate Latin America’s energy and transport transition.
