As a member of C category of Executive Council at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for the 2020-2021  period Indonesia can propose norms of shipping safety in trade. In addition, Indonesia can represent other countries which do not include at the IMO Executive council in terms of shipping security. It was said by Director General of Multilateral Cooperation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Febrian A. Ruddyard after the United Nations Day Commemoration, on Monday (Dec 2) at the Jakarta National Library.

“There are several things about IMO. Firstly about shipping safety.  Being a member of the IMO Executive Council of C category, we can be more involved in developing shipping safety norms in trade.  We also inject about the issue of sustainable development, the environment is also the issue of women empowerment in shipping issues. We include in C categorize because although we are not country which dominantly in the shipping sector, service providers and users, but we have a large maritime area where international sea traffic is certainly being a concern. Since including in the council we can do much more. Secondly, we can represent other countries outside the council to channel their concerns on shipping issues, said Febrian A. Ruddyard .
