                    [Summary] => GENERAL SANTOS CITY  – The local tuna industry is optimistic it can convince Indonesia to drop its insistence that Philippine vessels fishing in its tuna-rich fishing grounds carry Indonesian flags.  


The two countries signed this week a five-year extension of their fishery agreement that expired last December. They are expected to hold further talks to thresh out critical issues such as the re-flagging controversy that has prolonged the completion of a mother bilateral trade agreement.
