Most especially this priority has become key to our goals for providing comprehensive assistance and capacity- building under No Country Left Behind and ICAO’s World Aviation Forum. These initiatives seek to assure that all States and Regions have the tools they need to effectively implement ICAO’s Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) for safety, security and our other Strategic Objectives, and to realize through that the significant socio-economic benefits of enhanced global air transport connectivity. For instance, you may wish to explore the results of our Council State’s most recent deliberations on the importance of partnerships to ICAO, undertaken at this year’s Council Off-site Strategy Meeting (COSM2016). In preparing its agenda for COSM2016, the Council’s Implementation, Strategy and Planning Group took these matters to heart and aimed to determine recommendations on the specific types of partnerships ICAO will need to foster in the years ahead, including between States and other UN specialized agencies, industry stakeholders, international financial institutions, and donors. The recommendations it determined are detailed in this article, and I would encourage everyone to review them in order to appreciate the full scope of the task ahead. 2 ICAO JOURNAL – ISSUE 3 2016 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL At the time of this writing, the ICAO Council has now agreed on the “ Cooperation and consensus… draft Resolution for our 39th Assembly covering the scope and design of the GMBM.
