Better implementation of IMO standards, improving capacity building, enhancing the performance of the Secretariat and promoting a global approach and awareness are the cornerstones of IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim’s vision for the London-based United Nations agency.
A multi-donor trust fund to help make this vision a reality today (27 November) received a major boost in the form of a US$2.0 million donation from the Republic of Korea. The “Delivering Strategy and Reform – Voyage Together” trust fund provides a mechanism to facilitate and accelerate development of the Secretary-General’s vision.
