At the 28th session of the International Maritime Organisation
(IMO) Assembly, which took place in London from November 25 to
December 4 2013, Cyprus was re-elected to the IMO Council, the body
responsible for supervising and coordinating the organisation's
work.
Cyprus submitted its candidacy to be re-elected as a member of
the council in Category (c), comprising 20 elected member states of
the IMO. Cyprus was first elected to the council in this category
in 1987 and has been re-elected ever since, ranking among the first
four candidates in the number of votes received. In the 2013
election it was again among the top four candidates.
Membership of the council is of particularly beneficial
importance, as it allows Cyprus to participate in the
decision-making process affecting shipping and underlines the
country's credentials as an international maritime power.
