Geneva, 4 March 2024 – FIATA International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations is pleased to announce its partnership with the World Logistics Passport (WLP), a global initiative aimed at promoting seamless trade flow among traders, freight forwarders, and key supply chain players through its logistics loyalty program. This partnership announcement coincides with the commencement of the 2024 FIATA-RAME Field Meeting in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where the WLP is headquartered, and at which these key themes in the region and on the global logistics playing field will be discussed. The collaboration between FIATA and WLP marks a significant milestone in advancing international trade facilitation. Through this partnership, with FIATA's vast global network comprising over 40,000 freight forwarding and logistics companies across 150 countries, the two aim to support their respective members in easing trade processes. The WLP overcomes non-tariff trade barriers through the offering of financial and non-financial benefits such as fast-tracking of cargo movement, reducing administrative costs, advancing cargo information and facilitating trade across borders, all of which can benefit FIATA Members.
