The conference concluded with the issuance of the Doha Declaration on Facilitating International Air Transport, a key outcome underscoring the urgency of developing integrated national policies to ensure the seamless movement of passengers and cargo, especially amid mounting global challenges.
The declaration reaffirmed the importance of adherence to Annex 9 of the 1944 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation, aimed at fostering multilateral cooperation between states and international bodies.
Accordingly, the declaration emphasised the need for stronger collaboration among all relevant authorities, sustainable funding mechanisms for ICAO programs, and inclusive policy development -particularly ensuring the participation of persons with disabilities. These measures aim to enhance equity, sustainability, and resilience in the global aviation sector.
Additionally the Minister had a sideline meeting with his new Qatar counterpart to build on existing relationships in air and public transport services.
