Federal Secretary Food and Agriculture Ismail Qureshi is likely to represent the country at the conference, that aims at setting up a joint mechanism to prevent spread of bird flu at border areas.
Sources told APP here that the conference would also work out an action plan to exchange techniques and information in the fight against the bird flu epidemic.
"Pakistan is already vigilant over bird flu and authorities are stockpiling anti-viral drugs and vaccinating poultry to prevent its outbreak. A ban has also been imposed on poultry imports from 13 countries as a precautionary measure against any outbreak of avian flu in the country," an official said.
The 13 countries whose poultry products have been banned include Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, Cambodia, North Korea, Laos, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Turkey, Greece and Romania. Each of these countries had detected strains of the bird flu virus.
