JAKARTA (JP): Myanmar is inviting Indonesian companies to
catch fish in its water areas, Minister of Agriculture Sjarifudin
Baharsjah said here yesterday.

"We will hold a discussion with Myanmarese Minister of Poultry
and Fishery Brig. Gen. Maung-Maung about the fees on fishing in
their water areas and which port will be used to export the
fish," Sjarifudin said prior to the meeting with the Myanmarese
minister.

Maung-Maung, leading a delegation of businessmen, is here for
a nine-day visit, which started Sept. 12.
