Key government officials were met and engaged by FIATA. The Deputy Customs Commissioner, National Transport Minister, and State Transport Minister attended. A global reference source for industry expertise and knowledge-sharing, FIATA enriched national and regional logistics supply chains with valuable insights into key elements. As part of its Digital Strategy, FIATA discussed its collaboration with intergovernmental organizations, including the United Nations and the World Customs Organization (WCO), and the need for digitalization and interoperability to facilitate trade.
As part of the visit, FIATA held a special workshop on its Global Air Cargo Programme. FIATA Air Freight Institute (AFI) Chair hosted this workshop.
