South Korea and China have agreed to jointly crack down on illegal fishing in waters shared by the two countries, the South Korean government said Monday, a move partly aimed at illegal fishing in South Korean waters.

The agreement came at a four-day meeting held last week in China, in which the sides also agreed to freeze their fishing quota in each other’s exclusive waters at 60,000 tons, according to the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.
