KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 11 (Bernama) — The public sectors dealing in halal food in Malaysia and Pakistan are working towards forging linkages to increase cooperation in the field of agriculture and veterinary services.

Wajihullah Kundi, commercial counselor for the Pakistan High Commission here, said a high level delegation from the Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Ministry and Veterinary Services Department was currently in Pakistan to ascertain prospects for forging strategic cooperation.

He said the effort was in line with the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation’s target to increase bilateral trade between the two countries from the existing level of over US$1 billion to US$10 billion by 2015.

A delegation comprising of officers from the Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Ministry and Veterinary Services Department will hold meetings with their Pakistani counterparts, Kundi said in a statement here on Friday.

The delegation, he said, will also visit world-class infrastructure established by the private sector in Pakistan, including the Livestock Production Research Institute at Lahore and the Buffalo Research Institute in Punjab.

“The delegation is expected to join and share their findings with the ministerial level delegation of the Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Ministry which will visit Pakistan from Dec 14 to 17,” he added.
