Lucy's Newsieness



According to China News, Norway and Chile signed a pact to extend an existing fishing research and cooperation agreement to cover the fight against illegal fishing, technological training, internships for public sectors experts and sharing experience on a sustainable environment. Jorge Chocair, Chile's vice minister of fishing, met Norwegian counterpart Vidar Ulriksen in the port city of Valparaiso, one hundred and twenty miles west of Chile's capitol city Santiago. Chocair told media after the event that it had focused on fighting illegal fishing and an information exchange mechanism covering salmon farming. The two also discussed the Norwegian companies' fulfillment of environment and labor laws; and the effect of fish consumption on human health. Ulriksen described the agreements as very important. "We will continue developing and promoting aid and exchanges, whether it be studies and research in fishing or areas closely related to international trade," Ulriksen said.

P.S. Ask me about the pictures, the top one is Jorge Chocair, and the bottom one is Vidar Ulriksen. If you can't figure it out come talk to me
