Pak-China Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCJCCI) President S.M. Naveed told APP here Saturday that keeping in mind the sea potential of Gwadar and CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor), the marine fishing sector needed an urgent upgradation, for which Chinese methods of fishing and the fish processing technology could be highly useful.
To a question, he suggested to bring Chinese expertise and investment in fisheries sector in case the government assures hand-holding coupled with conducive policies.
