Media in Taiwan reported recently that authorities on the island are attempting to negotiate attendance at the 39th session of the International Civil Aviation Organization Assembly, though it had not been invited.

The 39th ICAO Assembly will be held in Montreal, Canada, from Sept 27 to Oct 7.

During the 2013 assembly, aviation authorities from Taiwan received a letter of invitation two weeks in advance, and they sent staff members as nonvoting delegates after an exchange of views on the issue with the mainland.
