He emphasized Egypt's commitment to regional integration and sustainable development, highlighting efforts to boost the African Single Air Transport Market and open skies initiatives. Hefny held talks with African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC) leaders to deepen cooperation and secure backing for Egypt's ICAO candidacy ahead of elections in September. AFCAC officials voiced support, citing Egypt's infrastructure and regulatory contributions to African aviation. A seat on the ICAO Council represents membership in the governing body of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which is responsible for setting standards and guidelines for international civil aviation. The ICAO Council is composed of 36 member states elected by the ICAO Assembly. These member states represent various regions and have a significant role in shaping aviation policies and practices worldwide.
