RI, CHINA TO SIGN COOPERATION ON FISHERIES ADVERTISING

Beijing, Sept 8 (ANTARA) - The Indonesian and Chinese governments will sign a document on advertising cooperation, especially for fishery products, in order to increase the trade volume between the two countries, an embassy official said here, Monday.

"The text of the cooperation on advertising has already been discussed, and now we are awaiting the two sides to sign the documents" vice head of Indonesia's representative mission in Beijing, Mohamad Oemar said.

Oemar said he himself has also did not know yet as to who will represent Indonesia in the signing ceremony, whether is it going to be an official of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries or not.

Meanwhile, China will be represented by it's Inspection and Quarantine Agency (AQSIQ).

Despite the uncertainty, Oemar said this cooperation, for certain, will play a significant role for both Indonesia and China.

The biggest advantage is to prevent mutual rejection of fishery produce, as has been done in the past.

Indonesia's fishery products were rejected by AQSIQ due to insufficiency of health standards.

The bilateral cooperation will also put Indonesia in a position as a well-developed country in international health standards implementation, not only to China but to other importers as well.
