@State_IO @icao @USAmbICAO @ICAO is very grateful to the United States’ long standing commitment and contributions to international air transport cooperation, beginning with the Chicago Convention 80 years ago. Thank you for highlighting the importance of our work and our projects.

This #WorldTourismDay, join us in advocating for #SustainableTravel! 🌎 Aviation and tourism are drivers of sustainable development. That's one of the reasons why ICAO is committed to safe, secure, and sustainable global air transport to support #tourism worldwide. 🤝 @UNWTO

Opening the 5th edition today, I was heartened by the many partnerships and collaboration initiatives, many involving @ICAO, aimed at enabling key innovative solutions for a more climate resilient and sustainable development of international aviation.

They provide a highly enriching opportunity for learning about all the key novel developments and the innovations that are taking place towards aviation decarbonization that are taking place worldwide.

ICAO’s Stocktaking events have evolved to encompass all #aviation in-sector CO2 emissions reduction innovations, and provide a platform for monitoring of progress towards net zero.

I congratulate the participants in ICAO’s South American Region Digital Network (REDDIG) initiative for the operationalization of this new ATS interconnection with Europe, which represents a significant step forward for air navigation in this region: unitingaviation.com/regions/south-…

ICAO has opened a request for information in advance of DRONE ENABLE. This is an important opportunity to contribute to shaping this incredible new future for powered flight. I invite you to learn more: icao.int/Newsroom/Pages…

I would like to congratulate the Airport Carbon Accreditation members for their record breaking progress! Supporting the enhanced #sustainability of ground operations is a key priority for ICAO.

@ICAOMID I invite you to visit our newsroom to learn more: icao.int/newsroom

The commitments of Middle East governments to cooperation on #aviation safety, security and sustainability during my recent mission were very inspiring. ICAO renews its commitment to work on aviation development and implementation initiatives in the @ICAOMID region.

Together these factors will contribute to improving diversity and inclusivity, fostering a positive organizational culture, preparing women for technical leadership roles, and contributing to the economic growth of the industry.

I believe we can accomplish a great deal together by focusing our energies and resources on empowering women in aviation through better advocacy, mentorship, and training.

Yesterday evening, I had the of welcoming the first cohort of the ICAO-@McGillU course for Empowering Career & Leadership Development for Women to its inaugural delivery.

As the Secretary General of ICAO, I paid special attention to the emphasis in today’s discussions on the key role to be played by the structures, policies and processes that together provide the governance required to effectively advance gender equality imperatives.

As we continue to fully recover from the pandemic, it is more important than ever to focus on making deliberate efforts to attract, develop, advance, retain and ensure a critical mass of young female professionals are mainstreamed into specialised technical roles within aviation.

I would like to thank the panellists who contributed to the Intl. #WomensDay High-level Panel Discussions at ICAO. Their very candid engagement and enthusiasm helped to illustrate the collective commitment to transform our industry
