30 June 2024 \u2013 The highest decision-making body of the World Customs Organisation, the WCO Council, has re-elected SARS Commissioner Edward Kieswetter as the WCO Chairperson for a second term, 2024 \u2013 2025.<\/p>\n

Commissioner Kieswetter said after his re-election that the WCO was becoming ever more important given the technological and big data innovations that facilitate trade, the growth of eCommerce, as well as global uncertainties taking place in the geo-political landscape.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe key objectives of the WCO and all its member countries is to promote legitimate trade, to prevent trade in illicit and harmful goods, and ensure the safe movement of goods and travelers across the borders that divide the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is known that Customs unites whereas borders divide. But the unity amongst the Customs community must be directed towards a common transformative goal that brings economic and social well-being to all citizens of member states,\u201d Mr Kieswetter said.<\/p>\n

He said it was an honour that he was once again entrusted to provide this transformative leadership of such a vital organization as the WCO in the prevailing turbulent times. \u201cCentral to the role of the WCO Chair, is to ensure that the WCO Secretariat has both the capacity as well as the orientation to serve the needs of Customs Administrations around the world,\u201d Commissioner Kieswetter said.<\/p>\n
