A team of officials of the Strategic Export Control Division (SECDIV) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs conducted a two-day capacity building session for the officers of 38th Mid-Career Management Course (MCMC) of Pakistan Customs at Pakistan Customs Academy, Karachi, on 7-8 December 2023. The session included lectures, tabletop exercises and discussions on identification of dual-use commodities, implementation of strategic export controls at border entry/ exit points, and national counter proliferation efforts undertaken at policy and regulatory level.
The session aimed to enhance the conceptual knowledge and awareness of the participants on dual-use items and to equip them with hands-on skills to effectively implement strategic export controls.
SECDIV routinely undertakes capacity building sessions for the officials of border enforcement agencies, including Pakistan Customs. With the onset of the 31st MCMC (domain specific component) for officers of Pakistan Customs Service in April 2021, SECDIV’s capacity building session has been made a permanent moduleby the Pakistan Customs Academy.
