OCO Members and Partners Discuss a Coordinated Regional Approach to Protect Pacific Economies

Day Two of the 28th OCO Annual Conference brought together 60+ delegates from across the Pacific and beyond for an open session on strengthening Customs’ commitment to our Pasifika communities.

Delegates shared key updates, priorities, and opportunities for greater regional collaboration, while partners highlighted the vital role of Customs in maritime security, trade transparency, and tackling organized crime.

A key takeaway: the need for a stronger, intelligence-led and coordinated regional approach — with OCO members united through cooperation, knowledge sharing, and capacity building to protect our people, economies, and the future of our Blue Pacific.
