Suva, Fiji, 01 November, 2022: Keeping in touch with our members is important to the Oceania Customs Organisation.

This week, our Acting Head of Secretariat, Mrs. Irma Daphney Stone paid a courtesy visit to the Chief Executive Officer of the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service, Mr. Mark Dixon.

Fiji has been one of the strongest supporters of the OCO over the years and this exemplified with its willingness to host the OCO Secretariat when it was established.

During her meeting with Mr. Dixon, Mrs. Stone provided an update on OCO’s current and planned activities.
