WCO is the only inter-governmental international organisation engaged in setting up and implementation of principles and standards for cross border procedures and Customs. It is headquartered in Brussels and has more than 180 countries as its members.

The three-day meeting will strengthen the leadership role of our country in the region, give wider recognition to CBIC on an international platform and also, help in improving bilateral ties with these countries of the Asia Pacific region.
