Arsenio Antonio Dominguez Velasco, Secretary General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), arrived in Pakistan on Thursday, marking the first-ever visit by an IMO leader to the country. This historic visit highlights Pakistan’s increasing involvement in the global maritime sector and its dedication to sustainable maritime development.
During his visit, Dominguez will participate in the International Maritime Sustainability Exhibition and Conference, where he will hold high-level discussions with Pakistan’s leadership and senior government officials. The conference serves as a platform for exchanging views on critical issues related to the maritime industry and the blue economy, further strengthening the Pakistan-IMO relationship.
As a founding member of the IMO, Pakistan has been instrumental in advancing the organization’s mission of promoting safe, secure, and efficient shipping in clean oceans. Over the years, Pakistan has served five terms on the IMO Council and remains a steadfast supporter of sustainable maritime governance objectives.
