PUTRAJAYA, Dec 12 (Bernama) — The Cabinet has agreed in principle to form a committee involving various ministries and agencies to develop a deep-sea fishing cooperation model between Malaysia and Vietnam, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
He said the decision followed the outcomes of a meeting between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the Secretary General of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, To Lam, during the latter's visit to Malaysia last November.
During the visit, both leaders expressed their commitment to exploring collaboration in the fishing and maritime industries.
"We want to find the best model to enable both countries to share expertise and experience (relating to) deep sea fishing technology. Then we will be able to run a joint operation that will benefit both parties," he told a press conference after the ministry's monthly assembly which was also attended by the ministry's secretary-general Datuk Awang Alik Jeman.
