Peru also signed the Agreement for the reinforcement of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) informed the Peruvian embassy in Washington.

According to the embassy, signing this agreement contributes to the effort made by the Peruvian Government to promote responsible fishing of the migratory shoals -especially of tuna-, allowing an increase of Peruvian tuna exports.

The Peruvian embassy also emphasizes that the new content of the IAATC agreement fortifies and complements the original Agreement of 1949, and demonstrates the commitment of Peru to assure the conservation and the long-term sustainability of the tuna resources.
