Iran, Guinea to develop fishery ties 

Officials from Iran and Guinea discussed ways to boost
fishery cooperation in various areas including research, investment and
business.

In a Tuesday meeting in Tehran, Hossein Hosseini, the head
of Iran Fishery Organization, and Abdullah Sise, Guinea’s chargé d'affaires in
the capital Tehran, explored ways of cooperation in various areas including
processing and trade of fishery products, scientific and research, restoration
of reserves and aquaculture, as well as, the development of investment in
Iran’s fisheries industry.

“Tehran can do a feasibility study
on fish farming in Guinea and accordingly ink a document for enhanced
cooperation,” Hosseini said.

He added that a comprehensive study with focus on fisheries
perspective could help Tehran make a targeted investment and manage and reduce
potential risks.

Sise, for his part, said, “Guinea is a country with rich
marine resources,” adding that Conakry, however, needs expertise and technical
cooperation in the field of aquaculture.
