New Zealand to help Indonesia check illegal fishing which costs nearly $5 billion a year

Indonesia is losing nearly $5 billion every year due to illegal fishing in its waters and, New Zealand has agreed to help fight this menace. Therefore, bilateral talks have been held in Jakarta where NZ Prime Minister John Key and Indonesian President Joko Widodo have agreed to "combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, and promote sustainable fisheries governance".
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 20 July 2016.

After coming to power in 2014, Widodo has laid emphasis on turning Indonesia into a "global maritime axis" and, has, signed a separate agreement with the United States on maritime security and sustainable fishing.
It is believed that up to 5000 fishing boats are fish unlawfully in Indonesia's 5.8m sq km exclusive economic zone every day. In order to send a strong message, Widodo has destroyed illegal foreign vessels in public displays and has sunk more than 170 in the past two years.
