The US Pacific Tuna Treaty was signed by the Acting Director General for Foreign Affairs Basil Yvon on behalf of the Government of Vanuatu at the margins of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission 13th annual meeting in Nadi, Fiji.
Yvon said there has been an increase in Project Development Funds as part of the arrangement with the US.
“With the increase in PDF funds we can fund more fisheries-related projects in the country as part of the development of our fisheries. So this is one of the economic benefits that we are getting out of this Treaty,” Yvon said.
