The Director-General of Civil Aviation, Mr Victor Liu, has attended the 42nd Session of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Assembly at the ICAO Headquarters in Montreal, Canada.
Over 3 000 representatives from ICAO member states, non-government organisations and regional and industry air transport associations are gathering at this triennial Assembly. The Civil Aviation Department (CAD) delegation led by Mr Liu has joined the Assembly as part of the China delegation.
Under the theme "Safe Skies. Sustainable Future." a total of 39 agenda items covering aviation safety, air navigation capacity and efficiency, security and facilitation, economic development, technical co-operation, environmental protection and more are being discussed during the Assembly.
The China delegation, consisting of around 50 delegates, is led by the Deputy Administrator of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, Ms Liang Nan, and has submitted 45 papers to the Assembly. Among these, the CAD has actively participated in preparing papers including "Real-Time Monitoring and Analysis of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Interference to Enhance Aviation Safety" and "Enhancing Safety in Air Transport of Dangerous Goods through Innovative Technologies". A CAD representative spoke at the Assembly as part of the China delegation, presenting information on GNSS interference, sharing experiences of the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong, and highlighting the benefits accompanied with the implementation of related measures in safeguarding aviation safety while enhancing operational efficiency.
Prior to the Assembly, the CAD delegation also attended the ICAO Innovation Fair 2025. During the event, Mr Liu was invited to speak in an expert panel, where he shared his insights on promoting innovation to all states. He highlighted the rapid growth of the Asia-Pacific region in civil aviation and emphasised that various states/administrations, air navigation services providers, and the industry should collaborate and accelerate the promotion of innovation. Mr Liu also shared the experience of Hong Kong in aviation innovation.
In addition, an exhibition area showcased a range of new technologies and concepts with development potential in aviation industry. Attendees exchanged views on how innovation can contribute to sustainable development and bring benefits to all sectors of society.
