The winner was decided by the total weight of fish caught. The DPRK team won the tournament with impressive 4.8 kg of fish.
Kazakh diplomats were the runners-up, while the PRC team rounded up the top 3.
Alexey Ostrovsky, Director General of the MFA of Russia, attended the event. Head of GlavUpDK Vyacheslav Fatin awarded the contestants with diplomas and commemorative prizes.
