Wang said that the BBNJ Agreement marks the success of multilateralism, and is also a milestone of the global marine governance.
The full and effective implementation of the BBNJ Agreement is of vital importance to the common well-being of all mankind, Wang said, adding that China is a firm supporter, defender and builder of the United Nations.
In the face of a volatile international situation, China firmly upholds the central position of the United Nations and remains a pillar of multilateralism, Wang said.
Noting that China has long and profound marine civilization, Wang said China nowadays is also committed to promoting modernization featuring harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.
Wang said China has proposed to host the Secretariat of the treaty in Xiamen, which indicates the responsibility of a major developing country.
