At the 2026 World Ocean Week in Xiamen, southeast China's Fujian Province, international ocean experts and officials said China's experience in ocean conservation and scientific research could help advance the implementation of the BBNJ Agreement.

The agreement, which entered into force in January 2026, is a landmark UN treaty aimed at conserving and sustainably using marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

China, Belgium and Chile are competing to host the BBNJ Secretariat, with the final decision expected in January 2027.
