OPERATION COMMAND
The month of June kicked off with two important events in London. On 8th June, the Operation Commander visited the headquarters of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), where he met IMO’s Secretary General Kitack Lim. Due to the pandemic, the regular annual meetings could not happen since November 2019. The Operation Commander provided a detailed update on the Operation after the non-extension of UNSC Resolution 2608, including its implications on important aspects like the operation within Somali territorial waters, or the impact on Atalanta’s core tasks, i.e. protection of WFP chartered and vulnerable vessels. Secretary General Kitack Lim expressed clear support to ATALANTA, on the fact that Atalanta successfully provided protection to vessels, regardless of their flag, which underlined the role of the EU in the maritime domain.
