Kota Kinabalu: Agriculture and Food Security Deputy Minister Chan Foong Hin urged Malaysian fishermen to use proper navigational and communication devices.
Such devices include GPS, Mobile Tracking units and the Automatic Identification System (AIS).
“These devices not only assist our fishermen in their activities but also prevent inadvertent encroachment into the territorial waters of other nations,” he said after attending a bilateral meeting with Vietnam’s Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Hoang Trung, in Vietnam, recently.
