Under the agreement, both sides will co-operate on preventing fishing vessels from encroaching on each other's territorial waters, increasing the exchange of information on aquaculture and the prevention and control of diseases, while promoting seafood trade between the two countries.

They also agreed to boost co-operation in research and training of workers in the fisheries sector.

Following the agreement, they will set up a working group on fisheries co-operation based on a memorandum of understanding signed by the two countries' ministries of agriculture.
