Colombia also joins ICAO in recognition of contributions to
industry and technological evolution
Peru has been voted
into the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) after a
15-year absence from the forum where the highest level of
discussions related to worldwide aviation are held. Colombia has
also been voted into the organization for a three year period.
The result of the vote during the 35th Annual ICAO Assembly in
Montreal "once again places a Peruvian representative squarely into
the debates related to international aviation decisions, on
fundamental subjects such as aviation security," according to the
Foreign Relations Office of the government of Peru.
The country garnered
135 votes from the assembled delegates, one of the highest vote
results during the proceedings. As a member of ICAO, Peru will have
access to opportunities to participate in technical issues such as
airborne navigation, security and aviation infrastructure. It will
also have an opportunity to actively participate in the regulation
of international civil aviation.
Colombia's entry into ICAO was supported by 134 delegates, and
was based on its contributions to aviation, as well as the
significant evolution that the industry has undergone in recent
years in that country.
ICAO was formed in 1944 for the purpose of promoting the
safe and orderly development of civil aviation across the entire
world. It is a specialized component of the United Nations which
promotes cooperation in all areas related to aviation between its
188 member states.
