Earlier, Gadkari had posted about being welcomed by Transport Minister of Czech Republic Martin Kupka at the World Road Congress event in Prague. He had also met Malaysian Minister of Works Alexander Nanta Linggi at the event.

The World Road Congress is held every four years in a member country ever since the first World Road Congress was organised in Paris in 1908. The World Road Congress is held with the aim to share techniques and experience worldwide in the field of road infrastructures and road transport.

The XXVIIth World Road Congress is the first post-Covid Road Congress that began in Prague on October 2. The tagline for this year’s conference is “Together on the Road again”.
