On June 9, local time, Vice President Han Zheng attended the 3rd UN Ocean Conference in Nice, France, and spoke at the general debate. Han Zheng said that to achieve sustainable development goals in various fields, including the ocean, all parties must share the mission. President Xi Jinping pointed out that the blue planet we humans live on is not divided into isolated islands by the ocean, but is connected to a community of destiny by the ocean. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. We should use this UN Ocean Conference as an opportunity to coordinate the protection and sustainable use of resources, promote the sustainable development of the ocean, and promote the building of a community of human destiny. The first is to build a peaceful and safe ocean together to lay a solid foundation for achieving the sustainable development goals of the ocean. Practice true multilateralism, abide by international maritime rules, defend the common heritage of mankind, and safeguard the overall interests of the international community. The second is to jointly build an inclusive and prosperous ocean to inject strong impetus into achieving the sustainable development goals of the ocean. Actively promote maritime connectivity and practical cooperation. China will carry out bilateral and multilateral cooperation projects to support small island countries and other developing countries in implementing sustainable development goals. The third is to jointly build an ocean where civilizations blend and create a favorable environment for achieving the sustainable development goals of the ocean. Respect the diversity of marine civilizations, establish more platforms for sea-related dialogue, and establish a fair, just, open and inclusive maritime order. China will provide 5,000 training places to developing countries to promote their capacity building for the sustainable development of the oceans. The fourth is to jointly build a clean and beautiful ocean to provide a strong guarantee for achieving the sustainable development goals of the ocean. Through the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund, China will strengthen cooperation with relevant international organizations to promote ocean governance and promote green development. China supports the early entry into force and full operation of the Marine Biodiversity Agreement.
