The Wet Landed Small Pelagic Association has defended a Cabinet decision to relax restrictions in parts of the 200-metre fishing zone, saying the move protects jobs and grows onshore fish processing.

The Cabinet endorsed a decision that the government consider hosting an event to signify Namibia's firm commitment to the future of the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda.

The event is expected to feature international and national stakeholders.

Cabinet took a number of decisions at its meeting this week in the interest of social development.

These resolutions relate to, among others, the Food Bank and the outcomes of the Namibia National Education Conference.
