General Administration of Customs: Prolonged upgrading and development of the multi-bilateral cooperation mechanism with the "Belt and Road" co-construction countries

Lv Daliang, the spokesperson of the General Administration of Customs, said at the press conference today that in the first half of the year, 44 customs inspection and quarantine cooperation documents were signed with countries jointly building the "Belt and Road", including 30 agricultural and food product access agreements. China signed a memorandum of understanding on international trade "single window" cooperation with the Iranian Customs Administration, and signed AEO mutual recognition arrangements with the Philippines, Costa Rica, and Uzbekistan. The documents can vigorously improve the level of port software and hardware, optimize the “Belt and Road” customs information sharing and exchange platform, and ensure the stable operation of the China-Kazakhstan Customs Rail Link project. In the next step, the customs will continue to upgrade and develop the multi-bilateral cooperation mechanism with the "Belt and Road" countries, vigorously promote cooperation in the fields of trade security and convenience, inspection and quarantine, and pave the way for the "Belt and Road" to benefit the world.
