One of solutions mentioned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) at the conference was to promote the cooperation on fisheries among Vietnam and other countries in the region.
Deputy Director of Directorate of Fisheries Chu Tien Vinh said that the negotiation of fisheries cooperation with neighbor countries is being implemented urgently. Vietnam has completed the negotiations with the Philippines and Indonesia. In November 2010, Vietnam will continue negotiate with Cambodia to exploit waters in southwest border and with Malaysia early next year.
Mr. Vinh confirmed that all negotiations are still favorable. Since early 2011, fishing of Vietnam fishermen with neighbor countries will be unified and more specific to minimize unnecessary disputes.
