At the invitation of the RILO A/P, Mr. Norikazu Kuramoto, Head of the ROCB A/P attended the Regional Seminar in Asia Pacific region held on 16 June 2021 virtually hosted by RILO A/P.

In the opening session, Mr. Kuramoto explained that illicit drugs are the most concern items in Customs enforcement and Customs play a key role to enforce smuggling drugs through targeting the high-risk cargos and passengers at the national borders. To improve our operation, from a professional aspect, it is essential to keep updating the information in active collaboration with neighboring Customs and international organizations. While the RILO A/P serves as a central hub function for information exchanging in the region, Members’ role is to leverage and maximize our efforts with the advantage of RILO network. He also stressed that ROCB A/P also fully supports Asia Pacific Members in delivering capacity building activity for improving enforce capability in close cooperation with the RILO A/P.
