The Chair of the meeting will be officially elected just before the meeting slated for June 23-27 at the UN Headquarters in New York.

If elected, Vietnam will, for the first time, assume the SPLOS Chair since it became a member of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1994.

Vietnam has, in recent years, considered UNCLOS the constitution of the oceans and a crucial basis for implementing maritime cooperation activities. It has gained significant achievement in resolving maritime delimitation issues with neighboring countries.

Vietnam signed the Maritime Delimitation Agreement with Thailand in 1997, the Gulf of Tonkin Delimitation Agreement with China in 2000, and together with Indonesia, it completed the delimitation of the continental shelf in 2003 and then the exclusive economic zone in 2022, enriching the practice of maritime delimitation according to the Convention.

Vietnam has also actively participated in UNCLOS-related activities, such as holding positions at the Council and the Legal and Technical Commission of the International Seabed Authority. It has been an active participant in negotiations and was one of the first countries to sign the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Agreement, the most recent international document related to the implementation of the Convention.

UNCLOS that regulates all maritime activities was adopted in December, 1982, and officially came into force in November, 1994. Vietnam was one of the first 107 countries to sign and later ratify the Convention in June, 1994.

SPLOS is an annual conference convened by the UN Secretary-General under the provisions of UNCLOS. It is an essential forum where all member states review the implementation of the Convention, discuss emerging issues in its application, and make decisions on necessary measures to enhance its enforcement and global ocean governance.
