The Agreement will pave the way for recognition of maritime education and training, certificates of competency, endorsements, training and documentary evidence and medical fitness certificates for seafarers issued by Governments of both countries, in accordance with the provision of regulation I/10 of the STCW Convention, and cooperation between the two countries in the training certification and management of seafarers.
