Three issues that FSWG can focus on: + OHP Vietnam recognizes the importance of AMR. In other countries, this issue does not come up very prominently. + OHP should has some roles to play with food system transformation, especially food safety management system. Identify within FSWG specific areas to support with. + Livestock interaction -> to deal with diseases transmitted from the wild to the domesticated livestock. ➔ ILRI will draft and share document with the FSWG before submitting it to OHP.
