Customs Roundtable at the Netherlands Residence - Singapore
Customs Roundtable at the Netherlands Residence
The ports of Rotterdam and Singapore are amongst the busiest and biggest in the world. Given the similarities in terms of size and scale, how should we balance trade facilitation with the safeguarding of our supply chain security?
The Customs administrations of both Singapore and the Netherlands
play a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth, secure, and efficient
movement of goods across our borders.
Last week, Ambassador
Anneke Adema and Mr. Mostafa Amini, the Dutch Customs Counselor for
Southeast Asia, convened a roundtable meeting at the Netherlands
Residence bringing together key stakeholders from the Ministry of
Finance, Singapore Customs, the Immigration & Checkpoints
Authority (ICA), and the Home Team Science & Technology Agency
(HTX).
The stakeholders reflected on the lessons learned over
the past decade of cooperation, the empowerment of individuals at all
levels in leadership, and the shared values and like-mindedness
between Singapore and the Netherlands. They also reaffirmed the
continued commitment to fostering a mutually beneficial partnership
between both sides.
We look forward to continuing our close
cooperation in the coming years.
