RIYADH: Saudi Arabia is poised to strengthen its position as a global hub linking Asia, Africa, and Europe as its civil aviation authority participates in the Changi Aviation Summit.
A high-level delegation, headed by Abdulaziz Al-Duailej, president of the General Authority of Civil Aviation, was present at the summit and at the Singapore Airshow on Feb. 19 and 20, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The participation of GACA in these events underscores Saudi Arabia’s commitment to the objectives outlined in the Saudi Vision 2030, particularly in fostering a dynamic and attractive environment for the aviation sector and solidifying its position as a pivotal global hub connecting the three continents.
During the summit and airshow, Al-Duailej seized the opportunity to hold discussions with various stakeholders, including a significant meeting with Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister, Heng Swee Keat.
Their dialogue focused on reinforcing the strong bilateral relations between Saudi Arabia and Singapore, as well as exploring avenues for deeper collaboration and knowledge exchange in civil aviation.
Saudi Arabia’s presence in such events aligns with its National Aviation Strategy, a comprehensive initiative designed to propel the Kingdom into a prominent position on the global aviation stage, as reported by SPA.
Central to this strategy is the enhancement of international cooperation in air transport and the facilitation of a conducive framework for potential investors keen on collaborating with the burgeoning aviation sector.
Additionally, president Al-Duailej engaged with officials from regional organizations and key players within the civil aviation industry, further underlining Saudi Arabia’s commitment to fostering robust partnerships and driving innovation in air transport on a global scale.
