Dialogue seeks to promote fishery cooperation in East SeaThe Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam (DAV), the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) and the Embassy of Australia co-hosted the second Ocean Dialogue in Hanoi on March 15, focusing on fishery cooperation in the East Sea. Opening of the dialogue, DAV Vice President Le Hai Binh said for regional countries, fishing in the East Sea brings about more than simple economic benefits. He said the dialogue provided experts with a valuable opportunity to share their view and discuss ways to improve fishery cooperation in the region. Peter Girke, Head of the KAS Office in Hanoi, contended that the fish stocks in the East Sea have been depleted at an alarming rate. Australia has been working with Vietnam to foster effective fishery cooperation and will maintain its strong commitment to bilateral cooperation in the future, she added.
