The main issue discussed at the meeting was the visit of the Faroe Islands' specialists in the fields of aquaculture and fish processing which is planned for June in Murmansk. The delegation will arrive in Murmansk to establish bilateral business contacts, discuss prospects of cooperation and for the exchange of experiences and business ideas.
