Today I delivered my Key Note Speech at 2018 AEO International Conference and Assembly in Baku.

In action

In my presentation I spoke about a new Border Security Model 2.0 – based on AEO 2.0 and SmartBorders 2.0.

It is 15 years since WCO presented a mew international stabdrada for Customs, SAFE. The world have change many times since then.

It is now time to upgrade SAFE Framework of Standards. Great feedback from the audience at the event.

This week I am speaking at the 2018 AEO International Conference and Assembly, held in Baku The Republic of Azerbaijan, 2-4 May.

The event is co-organized by the State Customs Committee and the International Association of Authorized Economic Operators (AEO), Customs and Logistics.

A very interesting event looking at how the AEO instrument can be platform for new secure trade lanes like the New Silk Road.

I always come back to Baku. It is a wonderful city by the Caspian Sea. I have may friends here since many years.

I also like the people of Azerbaijan. There are not many places where the hospitality is higher than here.

It will be great to be back for a few days.
