Top fisheries policy-makers from the Soviet Union and China have agreed to come to Alaska for a six-nation economic summit on Pacific fisheries, a State Department official said. “To the best of my knowledge, this would be the first international meeting in recent history called to address the business issues involved in national fishery policies,” said Edward Wolfe, deputy assistant secretary of state for oceans and fisheries affairs.

Wolfe said Canada has accepted an invitation and Japan and South Korea are expected to attend.
