Leveraging cooperation and cross-border e-commerce among topics of discussion
Dubai Customs will host a series of high-level panel discussions during the 5th World Customs Organization (WCO) Global AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) Conference in Dubai.
Set to be held from March 10 to 12, 2020 at the Festival Arena, the conference, which is taking place in the Middle East for the first time, will be hosted by Dubai Customs in cooperation with the World Customs Organization (WCO) and the Federal Customs Authority.
The event will feature key sessions and round table discussions covering timely topics, including customs work and the development of a global customs system.
The panel discussions are scheduled to be staged on the first day of the three-day event, which is being organized to provide an international platform for sharing of ideas and exploring opportunities required to take the flagship AEO programme to the next level.
One of the panel discussions will focus on the important role of customs, government agencies, and inter-governmental institutions involved in international trade and supply chain security in the success of the AEO program.
“We need to establish a strong partnership among relevant authorities to ensure effective and efficient response to supply chain security challenges,” stated Ahmed Mahboob Musabih, Director General, Dubai Customs.
The conference is seen to drive the global customs sector as well as strategically contribute to the fulfilment of Sustainable Development Goals 2030. The World Customs Organization represents 183 Customs administrations across the globe.
