ASEAN Objectives on Veterinary Legislation

Veterinary legislation and governance should be seen in the light of developing a rules based ASEAN Community that expected to improve the capacities of Veterinary authorities.

ASEAN recognised the need for the Member States to bestow hard effort to build-up their respective veterinary services and infrastructure to attain the international standard setting bodies’ requirement.
