THE Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) was awarded the World Customs Organization (WCO) Certificate of Merit award at the 38th International Customs Day (ICD) 2020 celebration held recently.
The WCO award was conferred on MDEC, representing the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD), for rendering exceptional service to the international customs community and in recognition of MDEC’s collaboration with the RMCD to digitalise trade facilitation in Malaysia.
Chief Operating Officer Datuk Ng Wan Peng said the award marked a significant milestone for MDEC on its initiative to enable digital transformation and adoption.
“The adoption and growth of e-commerce are creating vast opportunities for local companies and SMEs to tap into global demand in cross-border trade,” she said in a statement today (Feb 3).
She said MDEC is fully committed to collaborating with RMCD in its trade facilitation digitalisation journey to ensure speed and efficiency in border clearance.
The WCO Certificate of Merit was awarded to eight public and private sector organisations, including MDEC, for their involvement and contribution in driving economic growth and preserving national security. – Feb 3, 2020, Bernama
