This achievement underscored the strong partnership and brotherly bonds that bind the UAE with
the Arab countries and serves as a testament to the trust in the strength and stature of the civil
aviation sector as a global aviation hub.

He continued, "Civil aviation is undoubtedly a pivotal area in Arab cooperation, where significant
progress has been achieved in several key areas. The UAE is committed to supporting all efforts to
enhance and develop joint Arab action, raising it to more advanced levels. These efforts aim to serve
the future developmental visions of Arab countries and bolster economic growth across the region."
On his part, Saif Mohammed Al Suwaidi, Director-General of the GCAA, expressed his pride in
achieving this accomplishment, which resulted from the wise vision of the UAE's leadership. It
reaffirms the country's status as a leading and distinguished force in this sector on both the Arab and
international levels.
He further emphasised that the UAE remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting all initiatives
to strengthen Arab cooperation, particularly within the civil aviation sector. The UAE will continue to
endorse the efforts of the Arab Organisation and collaborate with the newly elected President of the
Executive Council to advance the organisation's strategic and administrative objectives.

This dedication aims to ensure a secure and sustainable future for the Arab aviation sector, create a
more cohesive and effective presence of Arab member states within the International Civil Aviation
Organisation (ICAO), and elevate the Arab civil aviation sector to a more advanced status.
The Executive Council of the organisation consists of nine members elected by the General
Assembly from among the nominees of the member states for a term of two years. It is responsible
for the organisation's decisions and recommendations.
