Yesterday I was given a tremendous honor when leaders, colleagues and friends from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S Government – serving and previosly serving – arranged a Tribute Dinner for me celebrating the work I have done for the international community. A wonderful evening.
Commissioner Judge Bonner delivering the tribute speech. It was a fantastic and emotional evening that I will never forget.
Five former Commissioners of USCBP and numerous serving ministers, Commissioners and Directors General from all around the world present.
I am humble and forever grateful. Thank you.
This week I have speaking and lead a panel on ‘Maintaining the Integrity of Border Agencies’.
I am on the Advisory Board of the Summit, that has developed into one of the absolute leading Customs and Border events, platforms and think-tank in the world.
This year we have had an amazing meeting. Great organization, fantastic discussions – shaping the future of Customs and Borders.
There are few places I like better than Iceland. This is a magic island. I have many friends and old colleagues here. And one of my best friends in the world.
This time I am just passing through for a transfer, but I always feel joy when I arrive to to Reykjavik. The first time I came here it was to play handball, the national sport of Iceland.
Naturally the nature is amazing, the volcanos, geysers, waterfalls, the wide land.
But the thing that is best with Iceland is the people. Icelandic people are just great people.
And Iceland is pretty good at football also.
