Day Two of the 28th OCO Annual Conference brought together 60+ delegates from across the Pacific and beyond for an open session on strengthening Customs’ commitment to our Pasifika communities.

Delegates shared key updates, priorities, and opportunities for greater regional collaboration, while partners highlighted the vital role of Customs in maritime security, trade transparency, and tackling organized crime.

A key takeaway: the need for a stronger, intelligence-led and coordinated regional approach — with OCO members united through cooperation, knowledge sharing, and capacity building to protect our people, economies, and the future of our Blue Pacific.

Delegates and partners have officially arrived for the 28th Oceania Customs Organisation (OCO) Annual Conference, and everything is set for day one! Leaders from Customs agencies across 24 Pacific countries are in Fiji from 2–4 June 2026 for this key gathering.

The event brings together Heads of Customs, senior government officials, development partners, and international organisations, all coming together to share ideas and strengthen efforts to keep communities safe, secure borders, boost trade, and support sustainable growth across the Pacific.

Fiji is hosting the conference in its role as OCO Chair, with this year’s theme focused on “Scaling Up the Commitment of Customs to Protect and Grow our Pasifika Communities.”
