Mr Chan welcomed Mr Wang’s visit to Hong Kong Customs with his delegation and held a meeting with the Lhasa Customs delegation. During the meeting, both sides engaged in in-depth discussions on multiple issues, including optimising customs clearance procedures and co-operation on the mutual recognition of Authorized Economic Operators, accelerating the development of smart customs, and deepening co-operation on intelligence exchange and risk management, with an aim of broadening the scope of mutual co-operation and promoting trade development.
During their visit, the delegation also visited the West Kowloon Station of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link, the Kwai Chung Customhouse, and the Customs Marine Base at Stonecutters Island, and took a ride on a sector patrol launch to visit sea-borne smuggling black spots to learn about the operations of passenger and sea cargo clearance of Hong Kong Customs, as well as its maritime patrol and enforcement work.
