Singapore steps up support for Africa and the Caribbean in aviation training and development
Singapore is stepping up support for Africa and the Caribbean in aviation training and development through the signing of three new Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) between the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and the civil aviation authorities of Cameroon, the Comoros and Guyana respectively.
Mdm Paule Avomo Assoumou Koki, Director-General of the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority and Mr Han Kok Juan, Director-General of the CAAS.
Mr Abdou Mondoha Abdillah, Director-General of the National Civil Aviation Authority of the Comoros and Mr Han Kok Juan, Director-General of the CAAS.
Mr Egbert Field, Director-General of the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority and Mr Han Kok Juan, Director-General of the CAAS.
CAAS is a firm supporter of human capital development and has trained over 160,000 aviation professionals from over 200 States, including from Africa and the Caribbean. The new MOUs will allow CAAS to step up engagement to support more countries in these regions in growing aviation. The signings took place on the side of the 42nd International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Assembly in Montreal, Canada, where Singapore was re-elected to the ICAO Council with the record highest number of votes since Singapore first joined the ICAO Council in 2003 and in ICAO’s history.
