Aviation industry issues discussed at second ICAO Global Symposium

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- As part of the symposium, Minister of Transport Ilkhom Makhkamov met with ICAO Secretary General Juan Carlos Salazar and noted that Uzbekistan supports ICAO's policies and practices in the field of environmental protection.
