Dominican Republic: The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has announced that the United Arab Emirates will host the 4th ICAO Global Implementation Support Symposium (GISS 2025) and its companion exhibition.
One of the most significant endeavors to date is this summit, which seeks to coordinate worldwide plans for ICAO implementation to improve aviation security, safety, and sustainability through in-depth talks, workshops, and gatherings.
The declaration was made at the end of the third global aviation summit, which took place in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. A high-level delegation from the UAE took part in this edition, headed by the GCAA’s Director-General, Saif Mohammed Al Suwaidi. Other participants included leaders from both public and private organizations involved in the country’s civil aviation industry, as well as senior officials and experts from the authority.
Furthermore, the GCAA promoted its services on a sizable platform during the concurrent exposition, emphasizing the training programs provided by IACT, the GCAA’s commercial division, and the Global Air Navigation Services (GANS).
Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Chairman of the GCAA, stated, “The aviation sector represents a fundamental pillar of the national economy’s diversity and strength, bridging its communication with various countries and global markets. The UAE has succeeded, under the wise vision and guidance of its leadership, in solidifying its position as one of the influential players in the international civil aviation sector, possessing advanced infrastructure for air transport services and airlines with global reputation and trust, in addition to the vital role played by the UAE in supporting international cooperation initiatives led by the ICAO to enhance the safety, security, and sustainability of the aviation sector.”
He continued by saying that the UAE’s success in holding numerous significant international aviation conferences and exhibitions is a direct result of these efforts. The decision to choose the UAE to host the 4th ICAO Global Implementation Support Symposium is a testament to the strength of the collaboration between the UAE and the ICAO and its member nations, as well as the faith that the international community has in the organization.
