Economic Minister Fayyaz Ismail has stated that the fisheries projects being carried out by the government to promote the fisheries industry are progressing according to the government's plan.
The Minister said this at a meeting between government officials and fishermen as part of Fishermen’s Day celebrations in Gdh. Faresmaathodaa.
