The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) organised the first edition of the Agricultural and Veterinary Quarantine Forum to review scientific insights on transboundary animal diseases and agricultural pests, and to explore strategies for preventing their entry into the country.
The forum also aimed to foster cooperation among federal and local authorities and the private sector in addressing the challenges.
The forum was attended by representatives of the relevant authorities in the UAE as well as international organisations dedicated to advancing agricultural and veterinary quarantine measures and developing innovative solutions to mitigate animal diseases and agricultural pests.
