The State Customs Service of Turkmenistan and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) have signed a project document marking the launch of the third phase of a joint initiative to digitize Turkmenistan’s customs system and lay the foundation for the operation of a “smart customs” system.
According to the Customs Service website, the document provides for the implementation of modern information technologies, automation of key processes, increased transparency and efficiency in customs administration, as well as the development of human resources.
The agreement signing took place in the National Tourist Zone “Avaza” and was accompanied by a bilateral meeting between the Chairman of the State Customs Service of Turkmenistan and UNCTAD Secretary-General Rebeca Grimson, who highly praised the country’s efforts in digital transformation.
