WVPA Asia Meeting 2018

Salam Sejahtera,
​
It is my great pleasure to invite all of you to the World Veterinary Poultry Association (WVPA) Asia Meeting 2018, that will be organized by the Malaysian Branch of WVPA during October 1 – 2, 2018 at Pullman KLCC Hotel and Residences, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
​
The WVPA Asia Meeting 2018 in Kuala Lumpur, with its theme, “Detection & Control of Poultry Diseases”, is envisaged to bring new inspirations and ideas on the diagnostics and prevention of diseases which significantly affect the poultry industry all over the world. The Meeting is aimed to provide an ideal forum to stimulate ideas and establish collaborations as well as to initiate intense discussions among experienced scientific intellectuals and leaders from respective grounds.
​
Additionally, there are also thousands of other reasons I could think of to encourage you to visit Malaysia, but what I will sincerely say is that the Meeting will be held at the only one place where all the colours, flavours, sounds and sights of Asia come together – Malaysia. No other country has Asia's three major races, Malay, Chinese, Indian, plus various other ethnic groups in large numbers.
​
Malaysia is also noted as a 'Food Paradise' where you can taste a diversity of mouth-watering food at reasonable prices. It offers a diverse and exotic mix of Malay, Chinese and Indian cuisines, which reflect the multicultural mix of the city. There is no doubt that no other country is "Truly Asia" as Malaysia.
​
It will indeed be my pleasure to greet you in Kuala Lumpur!
