4년 새 임기 시작…국제협동조합연맹 이사로도 재선임돼

(서울=연합뉴스) 홍국기 기자 = 농협중앙회는 강호동 회장이 국제협동조합농업기구(ICAO) 회장에 재선출돼 4년의 새 임기를 시작한다고 15일 밝혔다.

강 회장은 14일(현지시간) 파나마 파나마시티에서 열린 ICAO 총회에서 회장으로 다시 선출됐으며, 이에 따라 세계 농업협동조합을 대표하는 국제협동조합연맹(ICA) 이사로도 재선임됐다.

ICAO는 1951년 창설된 ICA 산하 농업 분야 기구로, 전 세계 약 10억명의 협동조합원을 대표한다.

현재 35개국 45개 기관이 회원으로 참여하고 있으며, 한국 농협중앙회장은 1998년부터 ICAO 회장을 맡아오고 있다.

강 회장은 2024년 7월 ICAO 회장에 취임한 이후 ICA 이사와 국제협동조합연맹 아시아·태평양지역본부(ICA-AP) 이사로 활동했다.

특히 지난해 국제연합(UN·유엔)이 선포한 '2025 세계협동조합의 해'를 맞아 ICAO 서울 총회 개최를 주도했다.

이 행사에서는 식량안보 강화, 기후 위기 대응, 청년·여성 농업인 육성, 농업 가치 확산, 농업인 권익 보호, 첨단 농업기술 도입, 협동조합 간 연대 강화 등의 내용을 담은 'ICAO 서울 선언문'이 채택됐다.

아울러 강 회장은 농민의 마음이 곧 하늘의 뜻의 '농심천심' 운동을 국제사회에 알리는 등 한국 농협의 발전 경험을 회원 기관들과 공유해왔다고 농협중앙회는 소개했다.

강 회장은 "기후 위기와 식량안보 등 세계 농업이 마주한 위기 앞에서 협동조합의 연대는 그 어느 때보다 절실하다"며 "서울 선언문의 정신을 바탕으로 세계 농업협동조합이 함께 위기를 극복하고, 농업인이 존중받는 지속 가능한 농업·농촌의 미래를 열어가겠다"는 포부를 밝혔다.

Uncertainty in crude oil supply and demand is heightened due to Saudi Arabian oil pipeline closure... Government and industry emergency response

Due to the intensifying war in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia's east-west oil pipeline has been shut down due to a drone attack, disrupting crude oil exports. Although the introduction volume for September and October has been secured, there are concerns that supply instability may become a reality after November, and the government is considering operating a reserve oil swap system and expanding support for non-Middle East crude oil freight rates. With the rise in international oil prices, the burden of managing prices is also increasing.
