Announcing to hold next conference in Dhaka of Bangladesh on November 2020, the 56th Conference of Directors General of Civil Aviation- Asia and Pacific Region (DGCA) concluded here today.
During the closing ceremony, president of International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu, director-general of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) Rajan Pokhrel and chairman of Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) Muhammad Mafidur Rahman addressed.
The closing ceremony of the conference – with theme ‘Harmonising Efforts to Meet Capacity Constraints’ – also witnessed handover of ICAO flag to the CAAB by CAAN, to host the 57th Conference next year. ICAO organises the conference every year
According to a press release issued by the ICAO, Aliu appreciated concerned bodies of member states for cooperating and collaborating in helping the states live up to their ICAO obligation. “These are important priorities to consider today given the critical relationship between the concerted actions taken by governments to invest in and improve their levels of ICAO compliance, and the resulting increase in international air connectivity which is so essential to the prosperity of all states, especially those with 'landlocked' or 'small island developing' status," Aliu was quoted – as saying – in the press note.
The conference also provided a forum for a sideline meeting between the director-general of CAAN and the deputy administrator of CAAC (China), where they discussed on flights of Nepali airlines to China, flights of Chinese carriers to Gautam Buddha International Airport of Nepal, and other matters of technical cooperation.
Nepali participants also discussed on safety and mutual cooperation with different countries including South Korea, on the sidelines during the conference.
Nepal has hosted the five-day DGCA conference for the third time. Earlier, Nepal had earlier hosted the conference in 1978 and 1998.
The director generals of Asia Pacific's aviation sector, chief of European Union regulatory body, high delegates, representatives from regulatory bodies of countries including the US, the UK, and France and representatives from aircraft manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus attended the conference.
They discussed a work plan on aviation safety, security, capacity, air navigation, economic development and air transport, aviation and environment, technical and regional cooperation and other contemporary issues related to aviation during the conference.
ICAO is also celebrating its 75th anniversary this year and had prepared a special flag – for the occasion – that was hoisted at the peak of Mt Everest this May 23 according to the decision of the council of ministers of the organisation.
