Zaidi said deep-sea fishing carries the status of an important industry in the country and new policy will ensure rights of fishermen.
The committee which met here with MNA Mir Amer Ali Khan Magsi in the chair was told by the minister that foreign investors are showing keen interest to invest in the fishing industry due to business-friendly policies of the government.
He said developing the fishing industry in line with international standards will not only help increasing foreign exchange inflow into the country, but will also help in generating employment opportunities.
The minister also said contracts of Port Qasim Authority and Karachi Port Trust are also being reviewed.
"Night navigation at port Qasim has been started and it is another achievement of the incumbent government that two [liquefied natural gas] LNG ships are being accommodated at one time," he added.
The committee lauded the efforts of the minister and assured its support in resolving the issues.
The Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) for the budget 2019-20 was presented.
The committee endorsed all the ongoing schemes and future schemes presented and gave its nod of approval to the sum of money required for the schemes.
