ICAPP Update (23-08): Proposal for the Appointment of the New Secretary-General

Dear Distinguished Members of the ICAPP Standing Committee,

Following the recent resignation of Ambassador Cho Byung-jae from the position of Secretary-General of the ICAPP after his service for 2 years since October 2020, I’d like to recommend the appointment of Hon. Ahn Myung-soo, former Ambassador to Turkmenistan and Consul-General in Houston of the Republic of Korea, as the new Secretary-General as of 1 March 2023.

In accordance with Para 1, Article 13 of the ICAPP Charter, the appointment shall be subject to confirmation at the 12^th General Assembly to be held next year. Until then, with your consent, Ambassador Ahn will be in charge of the general management of the Secretariat. In this regard, I’d like to request the SC Members to kindly respond to the above proposal for the appointment of the new Secretary-General at their earliest convenience, but no later than 22 February 2023.

The curriculum vitae of Hon. Ahn Myung-soo is attached herewith for your reference.

With warm regards,

Chung Eui-yong

Chairperson of the Standing Committee
