Marrakech: Angola will attend the Global Implementation Support Symposium on Support for the Implementation of the International Civil Aviation Organization (GISS-ICAO), in Morocco, from 14 to 16 April. The event brings together representatives from 193 countries with a view to strengthening the safety, efficiency and sustainability of world air transport.
According to Angola Press News Agency, press release from the Angolan embassy in Morocco sent to Angola Press News Agency, the Angolan delegation is headed by the Minister of Transport, Ricardo Viegas D'Abreu, who arrived on Monday in the city of Marrakech, in the Kingdom of Morocco, accompanied by managers of companies in the national civil aviation sector. Upon arrival, the minister received welcome greetings from the director of Air Transport of Morocco and the ambassador of the Republic of Angola in that country, Jos© Filipe.
The meeting, organized by the Ministry of Transport and Logistics of Morocco, is an international platform for consultation between States, organizations and industry partners, with a focus on the implementation of the strategic plan of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), as well as the standards and policies that guide the sector at a global level.
According to ICAO, aviation safety is based on reducing implementation gaps between developed and developing countries, with technical and institutional support aimed at overcoming challenges related to oversight and compliance with international standards. The organization also advocates the promotion of more sustainable and efficient air transport systems, capable of responding to the growth in demand and environmental demands.
The choice of Morocco to host the symposium results from its strategic position as a link between Africa, Europe and other regions of the world, as well as continuous investment in modern infrastructure, with emphasis on the expansion of airport capacity, which is expected to reach 80 million passengers by 2030. The country thus asserts itself as a regional centre for mobility, trade and innovation in the field of transport, the document concludes.
