Georgian Delegation Participates in the Assembly 41st Session of ICAO

The delegation of Georgia takes part in the work of the Assembly  41st Session of ICAO.

The event will be attended by the Head of the Civil Aviation Agency of Georgia Levan Karanadze, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Georgia to Canada and Permanent Representative to ICAO Kakha Imnadze, and other members of the delegation. ICAO's 41st Session will take place in Montreal, and in total will host up to 2,000 delegates from 177 countries.

During Assembly Sessions, ICAO’s complete work programme in the technical, economic, legal and technical cooperation fields is reviewed in detail. Assembly outcomes are then provided to the other bodies of ICAO and to its Member States in order to guide their continuing and future work, as prescribed in Article 49 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation.

Each Member State is entitled to one vote on matters before the Assembly, and decisions at these Sessions are taken by a majority of the vot​es cast – except where otherwise provided for in the Convention.​​​​
 
ICAO is funded and directed by 193 national governments to support their diplomacy and cooperation in air transport as signatory states to the Chicago Convention (1944).
 
Its core function is to maintain an administrative and expert bureaucracy (the ICAO Secretariat) supporting these diplomatic interactions, and to research new air transport policy and standardization innovations as directed and endorsed by governments through the ICAO Assembly, or by the ICAO Council which the assembly elects.
