Following the signing, ICAO Secretary General Juan Carlos Salazar praised Egypt’s active support for the organisation’s activities. He highlighted that the Cairo-based regional office is among ICAO’s most important globally, playing a central role in implementing programmes and providing technical assistance to member states. Salazar noted that the office contributes to enhancing aviation safety standards, improving operational efficiency, and reducing the environmental impact of air transport across the region. He added that Egypt’s continued support strengthens ICAO’s ability to deliver on its strategic objectives in the Middle East. According to Egypt’s Cabinet Media Center, the country has hosted the ICAO regional office since 1953, underscoring decades of institutional cooperation. The Cairo office is one of seven ICAO regional offices worldwide and serves 15 member states across the Middle East. The office plays a key role in providing technical support, capacity building, and policy guidance to member countries, while advancing priorities such as aviation safety, operational efficiency, sustainability, and innovation in civil aviation. The renewal of the hosting agreement reflects continued confidence in Egypt’s capabilities and reinforces its position as a regional leader in the aviation sector, as well as a strategic partner in advancing global civil aviation standards.
