Uganda has secured a seat on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council following elections at the 42nd Session of the ICAO Assembly in Montreal, Canada.
The Assembly, composed of 192 Member States, elected Uganda to the Council for the 2025–2028 term after a competitive process in which Uganda garnered 155 out of 185 votes cast.
Uganda’s delegation to the Assembly was led by the Minister of Works and Transport, Hon. Gen. Edward Katumba Wamala, accompanied by Amb. Allan Kajik, Uganda’s High Commissioner to Canada; the Director General of the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA), Mr. Fred Bamwesigye; and senior officials from both UCAA and the Ministry.
The ICAO Council is the supreme decision-making body of the UN specialized agency, responsible for setting standards and recommended practices that regulate the global aviation industry.
