Luís Nunes, governor of Benguela, said that they witnessed the birth of another company in the fishing sector that will help in the progress of the region and the country.
Cited by Angop, he also considered that the "private initiative" should continue to obtain its true position to stimulate the economy, bringing more competitiveness and diversification to the market.
Luís Nunes also promised to direct the provincial government's attention to the activities of those wishing to invest or live in Benguela, transforming administrative procedures into something faster and more effective, for the continuous economic development of the province, writes Angop.
The initiative was also applauded by Ana Maria do Sacramento Neto, Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, who, cited by Angop, took the opportunity to emphasize the company's state-of-the-art technology and the modern approach to job creation and fishing viability.
"The fisheries sector and marine resources are now embedded in a blue economy context, which implies a high responsibility towards the country and the world", she said.
She also expressed the institutional support of her guardianship, leaving the promise to help all those involved in the sector and added that they will "protect Angola's marine heritage through sustainable fishing, through the knowledge and assessment of marine biodiversity".
She also mentioned the bad behavior that has impacted fishing, referring that "all together we will improve the inspection of fishing activities, since things are now more identified", writes Angop.
