On July 10, 2024, the opening ceremony of the Training Workshop for Joint Marine Spatial Planning Project in the Balikpapan Bay Area (hereinafter the “workshop”) was held in Xiamen. Themed ‘Marine Spatial Planning to Advance Blue Economy’, the workshop was supervised by the China Oceanic Development Foundation (CODF), organized by Fujian Institute for Sustainable Oceans, Xiamen University (FISO) and Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of Indonesia (MMAF). As an integral part of the Joint Marine Spatial Planning Project in the Balikpapan Bay Area (hereinafter the “MSP project”) supported by CODF, this workshop is the second tailored training workshop on marine spatial planning (MSP) for Indonesian delegates. Maritime officials and researchers from MMAF and various government departments, as well as representatives from CODF, FISO, and departments of Xiamen University, attended the opening ceremony.
The opening ceremony was hosted by Prof. Li Xiaolin, Vice Dean of the College of Ocean and Earth Sciences at Xiamen University. After welcoming the guests, he introduced the development of Xiamen University's marine discipline and the establishment of FISO. Prof. Li hopes that Chinese and Indonesian maritime professionals, decision-makers and science experts will work together to contribute to the blue economic development of the Balikpapan Bay area, building upon the efforts of the maritime cooperation between China and Indonesia. As he closed his speech, he wished for a fruitful cooperation in MSP between the two countries.
Prof. Xue Xiongzhi, Dean of FISO, delivered a welcome speech representing the Chinese side.
