The purpose of the event was to strengthen the region's economic security by enhancing the qualifications of customs services in Central Asia and the Caucasus.
The seminar, organized from February 3 to 7, 2025, in cooperation with the World Customs Organization (WCO) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), brought together 20 specialists from 7 countries, including the Caucasus, in Astana. Participants focused on the implementation of modern monitoring methods and the training of master trainers in customs risk management.
As a result, the seminar contributed to the harmonization of customs procedures in the region. The trained specialists will be able to implement international standards at the local level, which in the long term will accelerate trade turnover and increase border transparency. As part of the event, a cultural program was organized, including a visit to the “ALZHIR” Memorial Museum to the Victims of Political Repression.
