The Commissioner of Customs and Excise, Ms Louise Ho, attended the Passing-out Parade of 82 Probationary Customs Officers at the Hong Kong Customs College on 5 July, 2024.
Ms Ho said in her speech that Hong Kong Customs will strive to fulfil its ambition to serve as the new Vice-Chairperson for the Asia/Pacific Region of the World Customs Organization. She encouraged the passing-out officers to carry forward the goal of creating "a new chapter of Asia-Pacific Customs collaboration", to strive to provide diverse and quality customs services, and to make full use of Hong Kong Customs' unique advantages in regional co-operation to make significant new contributions to the country and to Hong Kong.
The Guards of Honour and all passing-out officers marched in Chinese-style foot drill to form the logo of the World Customs Organization, then joined hands with the Foot Drill and Flag Party of the Customs Youth Leader Corps, the first team under the Security Bureau to perform Chinese-style rifle foot drill, to form the pattern of the Tiananmen Tower to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
