An Indonesian delegation, which is on a visit to Pakistan, has called for cooperation among stakeholders in fisheries, livestock and veterinary sectors and also underscored importance of bridging gaps between academia, public institutions and industries.
A high-level delegation of fisheries and aquaculture experts from Indonesia, accompanied by representatives of the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (Unido) under its "Poverty Alleviation and Inclusive Development Across Rural Sindh (PAIDAR)" programme, visited Sindh Agriculture University (SAU) Tandojam to explore avenues of scientific and technical collaboration in fisheries, aquaculture and rural development.
They focused on promoting sustainable development and improving rural livelihoods through the exchange of knowledge, research experience and technology in critical sectors.
The Indonesian delegation included Eko Cahyadi, Koko Kukarcan and Skenda Darja, who visited the Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Sciences.
The delegation reviewed academic and research facilities related to fisheries and aquaculture and interacted with faculty members, researchers and students. They discussed key topics such as fish disease management, hatchery operations, breeding techniques, aquaculture value chains and processing technologies.
Eko Cahyadi expressed appreciation for the university's facilities and research, saying that work being carried out at SAU in areas of fish breeding, disease control and processing met international standards. "We are pleased to see such progress and are interested in transforming this academic interaction into a formal partnership in the near future," he remarked.
