  1. The 24th ASEAN-China Customs Consultation was held on 3 June 2026, in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The Consultation was co-chaired by H.E. Azizil Hakim Brahim, Acting Controller of Royal Customs and Excise Department, Ministry of Finance and Economy, Brunei Darussalam, and H.E. Sun Meijun, Minister of the General Administration of Customs of the Peoples Republic of China (GACC), and was attended by all ASEAN Member States (AMS) Customs, the GACC, and the ASEAN Secretariat.
  2. We expressed concern over the continued tensions in the Middle East and their impact on international trade and global supply chains. The escalating conflict heightened volatility in global energy markets, disrupted trade flows, and created uncertainty for businesses due to higher logistics costs and rising prices of energy and other essential goods. We reaffirmed our commitment to upholding multilateral trading system and enhancing supply chain resilience to absorb the impact of external shocks together, strengthening coordinated procedures to mitigate risks, and supporting the continuity of private sector operations.
