Aviation News International – The Republic of Korea’s (ROK) Vice Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Mr. Won Kug Baek, joined ICAO Secretary General Juan Carlos Salazar in opening the 2024 ICAO Legal Seminar, which was generously hosted by the ROK in Seoul from 16-18 April 2024.
Highlighting milestones
Over 750 delegates representing 78 States were strongly encouraged by the Secretary General to join ICAO in its advocacy for the ratification and effective implementation of international air treaties. He offered a special focus on the 1944 Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention), noting its 80th anniversary this year.
The Seminar furthermore provided a welcome opportunity to highlight the legal milestones in air transport facilitation over the decades, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of Annex 9 – Facilitation and the Year of Facilitation that was consequently announced by the ICAO Council.
