“Equipping the customs centers with the latest and most advanced technologies is part of our strategy to improve protection and security. This will also develop trade and encourage more investments into the country following the directives and vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai.
