Pakistan, T\u00fcrkiye Agree to Strengthen FMD Vaccine Production and Livestock Cooperation<\/h1>\n\n

Turkish technical delegation to visit Pakistan as both countries discuss local vaccine manufacturing, agricultural training, disease-free zones and meat exports.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

ISLAMABAD, November 5, 2026 (VNV News Desk):<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/header>\n\n

Pakistan and T\u00fcrkiye have agreed to strengthen bilateral cooperation in Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccine production, livestock development, agricultural training and value-added food exports, with both countries emphasizing the need to translate their longstanding partnership into practical initiatives.<\/p>\n\n

The agreement was discussed during a meeting between Federal Minister for National Food Security & Research Rana Tanveer Hussain<\/strong> and T\u00fcrkiye’s Ambassador to Pakistan, H.E. Dr. Irfan Neziroglu<\/strong>, in Islamabad on November 4, 2026.<\/p>\n\n

According to the Ministry of National Food Security & Research<\/a>, the meeting focused on strengthening institutional partnerships, technical cooperation, human resource development and collaboration between relevant ministries, universities and livestock experts.<\/p>\n\n

T\u00fcrkiye to Support Pakistan’s Local FMD Vaccine Production<\/h2>\n\n

Domestic production of Foot-and-Mouth Disease vaccines emerged as a major priority during the discussions.<\/p>\n\n

Federal Minister Rana Tanveer Hussain informed the Turkish side that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had decided to seek T\u00fcrkiye’s technical support for developing Pakistan’s indigenous FMD vaccine production capacity.<\/p>\n\n

The Turkish Ambassador expressed his country’s willingness to extend technical assistance and confirmed that a Turkish technical delegation would visit Pakistan to explore potential areas of cooperation.<\/p>\n\n

The proposed collaboration is expected to focus on technical expertise and opportunities for strengthening Pakistan’s veterinary vaccine production capabilities.<\/p>\n\n

FMD remains a major animal health concern for Pakistan’s livestock sector, affecting productivity and creating challenges for international livestock and meat trade.<\/p>\n\n

Pakistan has also been pursuing other initiatives aimed at strengthening domestic veterinary vaccine production. In a related development, VNV previously reported on an FMD vaccine technology transfer agreement between Ziest Therapeutics and Shanghai Shenlion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Training Programme for 100 Pakistani Professionals Discussed<\/h2>\n\n

Capacity building and agricultural training formed another important part of the meeting.<\/p>\n\n

Pakistan informed T\u00fcrkiye of its plan to send an initial group of approximately 30 participants under a proposed training programme for 100 professionals.<\/p>\n\n

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has identified potential Turkish institutions, while coordination with the Higher Education Commission (HEC) is underway to finalize participating universities, priority disciplines and training arrangements.<\/p>\n\n

Ambassador Dr. Irfan Neziroglu offered to facilitate direct institutional linkages with Turkish universities, particularly those specializing in agriculture.<\/p>\n\n

The programme is intended to strengthen technical knowledge and professional capacity through cooperation between educational and research institutions of both countries.<\/p>\n\n

Pakistan and T\u00fcrkiye Discuss FMD-Free Zones and Meat Exports<\/h2>\n\n

The meeting also highlighted the relationship between livestock disease control, domestic vaccine production and Pakistan’s ambitions to expand meat exports.<\/p>\n\n

Both sides discussed the establishment of disease-free zones and improving access to international meat markets, particularly T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n\n

Strengthening animal health standards, vaccination capacity and disease surveillance could support Pakistan’s efforts to improve livestock productivity and meet international sanitary requirements.<\/p>\n\n

However, the establishment of officially recognized FMD-free zones requires comprehensive disease surveillance, biosecurity measures, animal identification, movement controls and compliance with relevant international veterinary standards.<\/p>\n\n

In this context, Pakistan’s existing disease-control initiatives remain relevant. VNV has previously covered Punjab’s feasibility study initiative for establishing an FMD-free zone with vaccination<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Pakistani Livestock Delegation Preparing Report on Turkish Expertise<\/h2>\n\n

The meeting also reviewed recent exchanges between livestock experts from Pakistan and T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n\n

A Pakistani delegation recently visited T\u00fcrkiye to study its livestock sector, production systems and relevant technical practices.<\/p>\n\n

The delegation is preparing a report identifying practical areas where Turkish experience could be adopted to support livestock development in Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n

The findings are expected to help identify future priorities for technical collaboration and institutional cooperation.<\/p>\n\n

Cooperation in Olive Processing and Value-Added Agriculture<\/h2>\n\n

In addition to livestock and veterinary vaccine production, both countries discussed opportunities for expanding cooperation in olive processing and value-added agricultural products.<\/p>\n\n

The meeting reviewed T\u00fcrkiye’s earlier assistance through the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) for an olive oil production facility in Muzaffarabad.<\/p>\n\n

According to the ministry, the facility has reportedly benefited approximately 5,000 farmers.<\/p>\n\n

Pakistan expressed interest in extending similar initiatives to olive-producing regions of Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Chakwal and Attock.<\/p>\n\n

The discussions emphasized improved processing facilities, value addition and better market opportunities for agricultural producers.<\/p>\n\n

Both Countries Emphasize Practical Implementation<\/h2>\n\n

Pakistan and T\u00fcrkiye reaffirmed their commitment to moving beyond discussions toward implementation through technical teams, institutional partnerships and targeted joint initiatives.<\/p>\n\n

Both sides agreed that closer engagement between ministries, agricultural universities, technical specialists and relevant institutions would help convert bilateral commitments into practical results.<\/p>\n\n

The proposed cooperation covers several strategic areas, including animal health, veterinary vaccine manufacturing, agricultural education, livestock productivity and export-oriented food production.<\/p>\n\n

Why This Matters for Pakistan’s Livestock Sector<\/h2>\n\n

Foot-and-Mouth Disease is a highly contagious viral disease affecting cloven-hoofed livestock, including cattle, buffaloes, sheep and goats.<\/p>\n\n

The disease can cause significant production losses and restrict international trade in animals and animal products.<\/p>\n\n

Strengthening domestic FMD vaccine manufacturing capacity could support Pakistan’s broader efforts to improve vaccine availability, animal disease prevention and livestock-sector resilience.<\/p>\n\n

The effectiveness of such cooperation will ultimately depend on technical agreements, manufacturing standards, appropriate vaccine strains, quality assurance, regulatory compliance and coordinated disease-control programmes.<\/p>\n\n

International veterinary guidance on FMD surveillance, prevention and disease status is provided by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

VNV Insight: A Step Toward Stronger Veterinary Vaccine Capacity<\/h2>\n\n

The proposed Pakistan-T\u00fcrkiye cooperation represents a potentially important opportunity for Pakistan’s livestock and animal health sectors.<\/p>\n\n

Technical collaboration on FMD vaccines could complement ongoing domestic vaccine-development programmes and support wider efforts to strengthen animal disease control.<\/p>\n\n

For the veterinary industry, the next important developments will be the Turkish technical delegation’s visit, identification of participating institutions, the scope of potential technology transfer and a clear implementation framework.<\/p>\n\n

At this stage, the ministry has announced technical cooperation and proposed initiatives. It has not announced the commissioning of a new FMD vaccine manufacturing facility or a confirmed production schedule under this bilateral initiative.<\/p>\n\n

Progress in these areas could eventually contribute to improved livestock health, stronger local veterinary biotechnology capabilities and better conditions for international meat trade.<\/p>\n\n
