Ambassador Petronila P. Garcia presented Philippine Instruments of Ratification on two important conventions of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

In a handover ceremony at the ICAO headquarters in Montreal, Canada, Ambassador Garcia presented personally to ICAO Secretary General Dr. Fang Liu instruments of ratification to the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for the International Carriage by Air, and to the Protocol Relating to an Amendment to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Article 3).

The Secretary General thanked the Philippines for having ratified such important conventions as she looks forward to working with the Philippines on various initiatives relative to aviation in the Asia-Pacific region.

Ambassador Garcia also conveyed her good wishes to Dr. Fang Liu, who became the first woman ever to be appointed to the prestigious global position heading the United Nations specialized agency for civil aviation, and only the second ICAO Secretary General from an Asia Pacific State.
