CHINESE fishermen have been told to stop fishing in the waters off North Korea's east coast because of a bilateral dispute over fuel supplies.
Waters off North Korea's east coast are risky due to the complicated and changing situation in the Korea Peninsula and their proximity to Russia, Japan and South Korea, China's Ministry of Agriculture said in a statement.
A large number of Chinese trawlers operate in the waters every year. Without stringent rules and arrangements, disputes can occur, the ministry's statement said. Trawlers can fish in the waters if they get approval from authorities in China and North Korea.
In late June, North Korea said Chinese ships had to buy fuel from its suppliers rather than making their own arrangements as in the past.
"The decision causes serious harm and potential risks to normal operations and work safety of Chinese trawlers," the MOA statement said.
Local authorities have been asked to recall trawlers from these waters and increase supervision to prevent possible disputes.
