It was announced from Montréal early in June that some 600 participants from 48 States and 18 international and regional organizations had gathered in Maputo, Mozambique the previous month for a special four-day series of meetings for AFI Aviation Week hosted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
ICAO Secretary General Raymond Benjamin opened the event, which was designed to further the development of the aviation network supporting Africa and delivered important results in the areas of safety, security, facilitation and human resources capacity-building. All present recognized the value of the AFI Aviation Week’s consolidated meetings and agreed that it should become an annual event on Africa’s aviation calendar.
