Cambodia is participating in the global conference on 'One Health' in Agriculture, organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), held in Rome. The Cambodian delegation is led by Dr. Yuk Sambath, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Health and Chair of the Inter-Ministerial Coordination Committee for One Health (IMCC-OH), accompanied by Rebekah Bell, FAO Representative in Cambodia. The conference runs from September 21-23, 2026, at FAO headquarters. This global gathering brings together world leaders, experts, development partners, and international organizations to discuss 'One Health' in agricultural systems. The event focuses on transforming the 'One Health' approach into concrete actions through strengthened cross-sectoral cooperation, innovation, knowledge sharing, and sustainable investment. The aim is to protect against risks, enhance resilience, and build healthier, more sustainable agricultural systems for all. Cambodia's participation underscores the government's commitment to advancing the 'One Health' agenda through multisectoral collaboration and coordinated efforts. Under the leadership of IMCC-OH, Cambodia continues to engage relevant sectors to address health threats, strengthen prevention and preparedness, and promote sustainable solutions across human, animal, plant, and environmental health. The global meeting provides a significant opportunity for Cambodia to share national experiences, exchange knowledge, and deepen partnerships with international stakeholders. These engagements support Cambodia's 'One Health' priorities while contributing to broader global efforts towards health security, resilient agricultural systems, and sustainable development.
