The document discusses regional cooperation between Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, Turkey, and Russia to reduce risks from foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and other transboundary animal diseases through an agreement established in 2016. 2. The main activities under the agreement include sharing information on FMD outbreaks and vaccination programs, conducting risk-based disease surveillance, testing vaccine effectiveness, and holding joint simulation exercises to improve emergency preparedness. 3. Looking ahead, the group aims to further expand risk assessment and early warning activities to additional diseases, increase inclusion of animal movement and risk mapping data, engage more countries based on regional risks, and serve as a model for enhanced cooperation in other regions.
