The 4th Meeting of the COM, in October 2003 in Sri Lanka, approved the establishment of the FSU. Eight years later in November 2011, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between the FSU and IORA to formally establish the FSU.
The FSU plays a vital role in enhancing cooperation, promoting the sustainable utilisation of fisheries resources, facilitating knowledge exchange, and fostering joint research activities within the IORA region.
