Mauritian Prime Minister Paul Berenger indicated plans by Mauritius to sign an accord next month for the export of canned tuna to South Africa.
Mauritius is also expected to sign a new fishery agreement with the Seychelles during the Prime Minister’s planned visit to that country in December, official sources said in Port-Louis.
Under the accord, ships from Seychelles would be able to fish in Mauritian waters, according to Mauritian Fishery Minister Sylvio Michel. He said a Mauritian mission would visit Australia in November for training on new fishing techniques.
