Taiwan, Philippines make progress on fisheries talks

TAIWAN and the Philippines wrapped up two days of fisheries talks on Tuesday in Taipei, making progress in law enforcement and protecting the safety of Taiwanese fishermen operating in the two nations’ overlapping exclusive economic zones (EEZs).

“Taipei and Manila agreed to establish a technical working group responsible for issues related to fisheries cooperation such as managing and conserving resources, as well as delineating boundaries,” an official from the Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said.
