The agreement will allow regular air traffic exchange between the two countries. The move improves the possibility of launching a regular route to Singapore, the ministry said.

Omerzel also met ICAO president Robert Kobeh Gonzalez and ICAO secretary general Raymond Benjamin. Both Gonzales and Benjamin underlined that cooperation with Slovenia has been good, while Omerzel thanked them for support provided to the country.

Slovenia has been ICAO member since 1994. The biggest civil aviation organisation in the world defines standards and rules for aviation safety, security and air traffic efficiency.
