Ambassador’s Report
GHI is a prestigious forum working globally to harmonize the food safety regulations and legislation and advocating the regulatory bodies. It is needed much more in Pakistan because here, each province has its own food safety regulations with a little bit of difference.
I am highlighting it in articles, seminars, conferences, and lectures to create awareness of its significance.
My ambition to join GHI is to translate relevant GHI documents in my local language (Urdu) and publish them in Newspapers and local magazines and harmonize the local standards with world food safety and religious standards and regulations.
