In the framework of the II Chile-Peru Binational Cabinet, the progress of 163 commitments signed in 2017 between both States was announced. In terms of fisheries and aquaculture, there are four specific agreements that represent a 100 per cent advance in three of which the Undersecretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture (SUBPESCA) appears as responsible entity.

Another agreement, which involves the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service (SERNAPESCA), is linked to reciprocal support in the fight against illegal fishing.

The third one aims at the exchange of experiences in fishery management and research for sustainable development, based on an ecosystem approach.
Additionally, SERNAPESCA responds for a commitment linked to the "follow-up and implementation of the work plan for capacity building, and exchange of experiences on issues related to fisheries and aquaculture health and safety", it explained.
The Binational Cabinet, chaired by the presidents of Chile and Peru, Sebastián Piñera and Martín Vizcarra, was divided into five thematic axes: Social affairs and culture for integration; Security and defense; Foreign trade, investments, tourism and cooperation in science and technology; Environment, sustainable development and energy and mining issues; and Border development and integration and infrastructure issues.
