**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the management and development of fisheries, specifically in the context of international cooperation and regional organizations. The language used suggests a focus on technical and financial support, as well as the need for countries to develop their own capabilities to effectively manage their fishery resources. This suggests that the primary concern is the sustainable use of natural resources, rather than economic development or industry.
