analysis: The text appears to be discussing the strategy and program of action for the development and management of fisheries, with a focus on international cooperation and coordination between organizations such as FAO, regional fisheries bodies, and governments. The text mentions the adoption of resolutions, conferences, and programs, which suggests a focus on policy and governance rather than purely economic or environmental issues. However, the text does mention the importance of promoting fisheries development in developing countries, which could be related to economic development.
