New Zealand’s experience in tackling illegal fishing around the Pacific can be used to help Indonesia as the country faces incursions into its own national waters, Prime Minister John Key says.

After meeting in Jakarta’s Presidential Palace, Key and Indonesian president Joko Widodo pledged to work together to combat “illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing” and promote sustainable fisheries.
