I am YE Zhengqing（Grace）from China Customs. It is my great pleasure and honor to join ROCB A/P.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself. After obtaining my Master’s Degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I started working at the RTC-China, Shanghai Customs College (SCC) as a capacity building program manager for almost 10 years. During the last 10 years, I actively involved in all the WCO workshops held at RTC-China and was responsible for WCO PICARD Program. In 2020, after meeting with WCO experts from Capacity Building Directorate in Brussels, I was invited to write an article on “Shanghai Customs College opens to the world” introducing how SCC, as one of the regional training centers, implemented its capacity building programs which was published at WCO NEWS.

As we all know, the achievements of the ROCB A/P since its creation are many. However, the opportunities to improve and the challenges ahead are significant. This year, despite the unprecedented situation with restrictive measures generated by the COVID-19 pandemic impacting the working environment, ROCB A/P continues to provide the Members in AP region with Customs Capacity Building in creative, diverse and inspiring ways. As a program manager of ROCB A/P, I hope my experience at RTC-China can contribute to the ROCB A/P and assist my colleagues to achieve ROCB A/P’s mission that is to perform effective and efficient capacity building activities in close cooperation with regional members.

I am looking forward to working with you!
