1. The 22nd ASEAN-Republic of Korea Customs Consultation was held on 3 June 2026, in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The Consultation was co-chaired by Mr. Chan Sopheap, Deputy Director-General, General Department of Customs and Excise of Cambodia, and Mr. Min Han, Director-General of the International Affairs Bureau, Korea Customs Service (KCS), and was attended by all ASEAN Member States (AMS), the KCS, 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 maintaining and enhancing supply chain resilience to absorb the impact of external shocks, strengthening coordinated procedures to mitigate risks, and supporting the continuity of private sector operations.
