For this market, strategy is especially tied to international corridors, customs efficiency and links to neighbouring seaports.

Transport priorities include upgrading trunk roads and cross-border corridors, improving inland freight terminals and border infrastructure, modernising key airports and aviation support assets, and selective rail upgrades where capacity, decarbonisation or passenger demand justify investment.
