The Huayang Center for Maritime Cooperation and Ocean Governance will host a seminar titled “Hosting the Secretariat of BBNJ Agreement: Progress and Prospects” on Sunday, November 15, from 15:00 to 18:00 (GMT+8).

This seminar will bring together leading maritime experts and scholars from China and abroad to discuss key issues, including the potential implications of Belgium and Chile’s “joint bid” for hosting the BBNJ Agreement Secretariat, the compatibility of the proposed division of the Agreement’s institutional arrangements with the coherence of its mechanisms and rules, and the implications of the Secretariat’s location for the Global South.

The seminar will be held in-person at the conference room of the Huayang Center in Haikou, with online streaming via Zoom. The working language is English.
