中国与印尼两国政府已就努力构建中印尼命运共同体达成重要共识，同意加强海上合作，并签署了《中国印尼两国关于加强海上合作的谅解备忘录》、《中国自然资源部与印度尼西亚海洋渔业部关于海洋领域合作的执行安排》等一系列合作文件。本次海洋空间规划合作备忘录的签署就是中国-印尼两国政府加强海上合作的一次实践，也是闽海院对助力区域海洋可持续发展和“一带一路”倡议实施所做出的努力。
开幕式后，为期8天的研修班在潘新春教授的讲座中拉开帷幕。除了参与讲座之外，研修班成员们还将与闽海院团队就巴厘巴板湾海洋空间规划合作项目进行研讨，并前往厦门海岸带综合管理主要示范点进行实地踏勘。
On December 4, 2023, the Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning Training Workshop held its opening ceremony in Xiamen. The workshop was organized by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of Indonesia (MMAF), Fujian Institute for Sustainable Oceans, Xiamen University (FISO) under the supervision of the China Oceanic Development Foundation (CODF), and co-organized by the United Nations Ocean Decade project - Coastal-SOS Programme. The theme of the workshop was "Marine Spatial Planning for Sustainable Coastal Development and Blue Economy." The opening ceremony was attended by nearly 70 guests, including maritime officials from MMAF and various levels of government together with researchers from Indonesia, and representatives from the CODF, CCCC Water Transportation Consultants Co., Ltd., Fujian Institute of Oceanography, and various departments of Xiamen University.
The opening ceremony was hosted by Professor Xue Xiongzhi, Dean of FISO. Three observers from Indonesia - Ms. Dyah Erowati, Senior Advisor for the Minister of MMAF, Mr. Kusdiantoro, Secretary of Directorate General of Marine Spatial and Ocean Management of MMAF, and Mr. Suharyanto, Acting Director of Marine Spatial Planning at the MMAF - delivered opening remarks. Professor Pan Xinchun, Vice President and Secretary General of CODF, delivered opening remarks as the representative of the Chinese side. Academician Dai Minhan, Deputy Chairman of Xiamen University Council and Chief Scientist of FISO, made welcoming remarks.
Ms. Dyah Erowati thanked FISO for the smooth opening of the workshop, expressing hope for joint efforts with Chinese scientists in the field of marine spatial planning (MSP) for extensive exchanges and cooperation, and wished the workshop a complete success. Mr. Kusdiantoro stated that the Indonesian government highly values the collaboration on MSP in Balikpapan Bay Area, where the new Indonesian capital (IKN) is located. He expressed confidence in the success of this collaboration and committed to working closely with FISO to ensure its smooth implementation. Mr. Suharyanto thanked the organizers for the event and read a specially crafted poem for the two sides’ collaboration, creating a small climax during the opening ceremony.
Professor Pan Xinchun mentioned in his remarks that both China and Indonesia are emerging developing countries and G20 members, playing crucial roles in global economic governance and cooperation among emerging nations. Spatial planning is a vital tool for governance, and CODF is currently collaborating with 18 coastal countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative on the "Marine Spatial Planning for Blue Economy" Maritime Silk Road project. He suggested that CODF, MMAF, and Xiamen University establish a cooperation mechanism and working group promptly, leveraging existing experience to facilitate MSP in Indonesia. Academician Dai Minhan, on behalf of Xiamen University, warmly welcomed the Indonesian participants, highlighting the university's longstanding engagement in sustainable coastal development capacity building exchanges between China and Indonesia. He hoped that this event would provide a high-quality platform for experts and scholars in the field of MSP to deepen their exchanges, share experiences, and further expand the cooperation network between China and Indonesia in sustainable coastal development.
Following the remarks, the event was highlighted by the signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Agreement between CODF and MMAF on the joint MSP project for the Balikpapan Bay area. The memorandum was jointly signed by Professor Pan Xinchun and Mr. Kusdiantoro. The signing was witnessed by Ms. Dyah Erowati, Mr. Suharyanto, Academician Dai Minhan and Professor Xue Xiongzhi. The signing of this memorandum marked the deepening cooperation between China and Indonesia in the field of MSP, providing support for the MSP in Balikpapan Bay area. FISO will serve as the executing and technical support unit on the Chinese side, providing knowledge, technology, and capacity-building support for the project.
The governments of China and Indonesia have reached consensus on building a community with shared future between the two countries, agreeing to strengthen maritime cooperation. The two countries have signed a series of cooperation documents, including the "Memorandum of Understanding on Maritime Cooperation between China and Indonesia”. The signing of this memorandum on MSP cooperation is a practical step in the efforts of the two governments to strengthen maritime cooperation. It also demonstrates FISO’s efforts to contribute to regional sustainable coastal development and the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative.
Following the opening ceremony, the 8-day workshop kicked off with a lecture by Professor Pan Xinchun. In addition to lectures, participants will engage in discussions with the FISO team on the collaborative project for marine spatial planning in Balikpapan Bay area. They will also visit key integrated coastal development (ICM) demonstration sites in Xiamen.
