The Institutional component of the First International Aquaculture Fair in Neiva, Colombia has opened a space for CNCC to organise “Norway Day” as a partial substitution to the summit initially suggested under CNCC’s strategic partnership project with Norad, Caritas, Pharmaq/Zoetis, and Piscícola Botero
The initiative behind this event comes from “Norway” being honored as the guest country at the Fair, for their contribution to the development of the sector. Therefore, as a celebration of the signing of the Fish for Development Agreement Norway-Colombia in November, the plan in this component of the Fair is to highlight all the projects within the Norad Fish for Development (FfD) umbrella. As well as organizing other bilateral cooperation events throughout the day
