Teresa Cheng: International Organization for Mediation already active, resolved a maritime dispute in May 2026

An intergovernmental mediation body headquartered in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region resolved a maritime dispute between parties from the Chinese mainland and Singapore in May, a success hailed as a milestone for the organization that has attracted more members since its launch last year.

Teresa Cheng, secretary general of the International Organization for Mediation (IOMed), told CGTN that it's a landmark because it shows that complex maritime disputes involving multiple parties can be settled through mediation. This will give maritime stakeholders a true, viable alternative, she said, adding that it's not just an achievement for IOMed but also a very important step for the maritime industry.
