Prior to her appointment as ICAO secretary general, Liu served for eight years as the director of ICAO's Bureau of Administration and Services. She earned a doctorate in international law at China’s Wuhan University and a master’s degree in air and space law at Leiden University in the Netherlands. Liu also serves as director of the Association of Air Law of China and the Association of Private International Law of China.
Taking place April 12 to 14 at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, ABACE2016 is the largest event dedicated to showcasing business aviation to thousands of the top business leaders and entrepreneurs across China and the Asia-Pacific region.
