Jakarta, Aug 27 (Antara) - To become a maritime country, it is not only the questions of fish, sea, and transportation, according to Maritime and Fisheries Minister Sharif Cicip Sutardjo. "Tere are several stages we have to go through before we become a maritime country," the minister said when opening Indonesia Aquaculture 2014: Aquaculture for Business and Food Security, here on Tuesday.
