Proactively responding to the “B & R Initiative” strategy of Chinese government, to deploy actions at Pacific Island countries and to construct “the Marine Silk Road” together with Kiribati, will not only become new sources of the economic growth for Ocean Family, but also further drive the implementation of the 20 years development plan of fisheries designed by Kiribati government to write the new chapter of the development of fisheries, to increase the income for local governments, and to create more job opportunities for more fishermen, having far-reaching significance.
