Hong Kong and New Zealand Customs have signed a pact to boost ties in intelligence analysis and risk management and to organise training and reciprocal visits, it emerged on Thursday.
The immediate notification mechanism for prompt intelligence exchange to combat transnational customs offences will remain in place, it was announced.
Customs & Excise Commissioner Richard Yuen and New Zealand Customs Service
Comptroller Martyn Dunne signed the joint communique for closer co-operation
in a biennial meeting on Thursday.
Mr Yuen revealed that New Zealand was the first signatory party of a customs co-operative
arrangement with Hong Kong, dating back to 1991, explaining that:
"The two administrations have been maintaining effective co-operation for
years. At today's meeting, we agreed to strengthen exchange of knowledge and
expertise particularly in the area of intelligence and risk analysis."
Mr Dunne is leading a four-member delegation to attend the sixth Customs Co-operation
Conference in Hong Kong.
