Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian government pushes the reform of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Council, according to an official at the Transportation Ministry.
"As a country on the main international shipping route, Indonesia needs to consider and protect the interests of domestic seafarers and the role of shipping in the world economy," said Director General of Sea Transportation Antoni Arif Priadi in a statement on Friday.
He recently led an Indonesian delegation at the 132nd IMO Council Session at the IMO Headquarters in London, England, on July 812. The session focused on the IMO's strategic agenda, including reform and budget.
Priadi stated that the delegation had met with IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez to hand over the Instrument of Accession to the Amendment to the 2021 IMO Convention, which Indonesia had ratified.
He remarked that the handover confirmed Indonesia's commitment to realizing a more transparent, representative, and accountable IMO Council.
IMO Council reform is necessary to strengthen its role and effectiveness in safeguarding the interests of member countries, Priadi added.
