Ethiopia sole African candidate for ICAO Council

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that Ethiopia is the sole African candidate vying for a seat on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council. This UN specialized agency is responsible for establishing global standards and regulations for civil aviation. Ethiopia's bid is seen as a strategic move to increase the country's diplomatic influence in international regulatory bodies. Securing a seat on the council would provide significant opportunities for the nation to participate in setting aviation policies and enhance its air transport infrastructure.
