Hong Kong Customs concludes Customs Co-operative Arrangement with Pakistan Customs (with photos)

******************************************************************************************

     The Commissioner of Customs and Excise, Mr Chan Tsz-tat, signed the Customs Co-operative Arrangement between Hong Kong Customs and Pakistan Customs in hybrid mode at the Customs Headquarters Building today (August 12). The signing ceremony was witnessed by the Head of Pakistan Customs, Mr Syed Shakeel Shah, and his delegations online, as well as the Consul-General of Pakistan in Hong Kong, Mr Riaz Ahmed Shaikh, in person.

     Mr Chan said that the signing of the Co-operative Arrangement paves the way for strengthening intelligence exchanges to combat transnational crimes. It also promotes closer ties in trade facilitation and creates a business-friendly environment for legitimate trade activities.

     Hong Kong Customs has so far entered into similar Customs Co-operative Arrangements with 35 customs administrations worldwide.

     Hong Kong Customs will continue to strengthen co-operation with other customs administrations, which helps consolidate Hong Kong's position as an international centre in finance, shipping and trade, and reinforce Hong Kong's status as a "super connector" and "super value-adder".
