Speaking to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Tuesday evening from Montreal, where the ICAO General Assembly is currently being held until October 3, Sheikh Humoud said the victory underscores international recognition of the pioneering contributions of the three nations to the aviation sector.
On behalf of the Kuwait Civil Aviation Authority and himself, Sheikh Humoud extended warm congratulations to the UAE, Qatar, and Morocco for securing Category 3 membership in the ICAO Council elections. He noted that the achievement reflects their significant efforts to enhance the safety, security, and sustainability of air transport while actively supporting the policies of the international organization.
