Somalia Participates International Civil Aviation Summit for the first time

The Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation, Mohamed Abdullahi Salad Oomaar attended the United Nations International Conference on Civil Aviation (ICAO) at the City of Ontario.

The minister accompanied by the director of the Somali Civil Aviation Authority, Ahmed Moalim Hassan, was warmly welcomed, as Somalia has been out of the country for a long time.

“We are participating in World Aviation Conference for the first time in 30 years.” Minister Oomaar said.

Somalia and the meeting countries have important tasks on hand, such as networking, getting to know each other, aiding, negotiating, providing training and introducing new civil aviation technologies.
The minister also said that they are holding a meeting with ICAO to verify Somalia Aviation-accounts managed by ICAO for the last two decades of operations in Kenyan Capital Nairobi.

The ICAO’s 193-member conference is held every three years at the Ontario Canada Civil Aviation Authority, the first meeting Somalia participates since 1991.

Other Federal Government delegates are expected to join the conference in the coming hours.
