The bilateral meetings further provided the President and the Secretary General with an opportunity to extend ICAO’s gratitude to Peru for its generous and continuous hosting of the organization since 1948.
The President of the ICAO Council, Mr. Salvatore Sciacchitano, and the ICAO Secretary General, Mr. Juan Carlos Salazar, recently conducted missions to Lima on the occasion of the Latin American Civil Aviation Commission (LACAC)’s VII Extraordinary Assembly, which coincided with LACAC’s 50th anniversary and the 75th anniversary of Peru’s hosting of ICAO’s South American Regional Office.
In their respective opening and closing remarks to the Assembly, the President and the Secretary General underscored LACAC’s pivotal role in supporting cooperation among Latin American States and with ICAO. The continuous enhancement and development of air connectivity among Latin American States, positions them well to address the technological and ecological opportunities and challenges facing aviation today.
The collaboration between LACAC and ICAO’s Regional Offices was also highlighted, in particular the promotion of joint initiatives such as the Regional Safety Oversight System (SRVSOP), and in terms of encouraging and enabling progress towards ICAO’s safety, security, and sustainability objectives.
ICAO welcomed the adoption of the Declaration of Lima at the Assembly as a crucially important guiding document for the Region over the next decade, and commended LACACPresident Leonardo Blengini and LACAC Secretary Jaime Binder for the meeting’s success.
During the event, Panama announced that it would join the ICAO Assistance, Capacity Building, and Training Program for Sustainable Aviation Fuels (ACT-SAF) and was hailed as providing significant leadership for the region in this area.

A break in Llandudno, a vintage Welsh beachside resort with enduring appeal
A Victorian favourite once billed as the ‘Queen of Welsh resorts’, Llandudno has kept much of the charm that made it so popular. The curving promenade framing Llandudno Bay, the aroma of fish and chips wafting in the air, pastel-coloured art deco houses lining the seafront and old-fashioned amusements on Llandudno Pier all combine to deliver a quintessential British seaside break. The town also serves as gateway to a wealth of natural attractions in Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and water-based adventures in Colwyn Bay. And a stay in Llandudno can be combined with a trip to Conwy, across the river of the same name, which has a mighty castle and Britain’s smallest house.
