Chaired by Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet, the plenary session on Feb. 2 marked a pivotal moment as the Council of Ministers officially endorsed the submission. The draft law, a testament to Cambodia's role as a responsible WTO member, strives to address key issues surrounding fisheries conservation.
At its core, the legislation targets the menace of harmful sea fishing, identified as a primary culprit in the depletion of global marine fisheries stocks. By taking a stand against this destructive practice, Cambodia aligns itself with international efforts to curb unregulated illegal fishing, a crucial step in preventing overfishing.
By ratifying this agreement, Cambodia signals its willingness to collaborate with the global community in the shared mission of preserving marine ecosystems. In return, the country stands to gain substantial technical and financial support, reinforcing its ability to manage and conserve maritime fisheries effectively.
Beyond the fisheries initiative, the Council of Ministers, in the same session, gave the green light to several crucial developments. These include approving progress reports and directions for the Pentagonal Strategy-Phase 1, a draft law ensuring order and safety in water transport, and sub-decrees related to the organization and functioning of the Cambodia Tourism Marketing and Promotion Board and the Secretary of State for Border Affairs.
The approved draft law on water transport underscores Cambodia's commitment to maintaining order and safety in its water transport sector. Simultaneously, the progress report on the Pentagonal Strategy-Phase 1 demonstrates the government's dedication to comprehensive development strategies.
The Council's approval of sub-decrees related to the organization and functioning of the Cambodia Tourism Marketing and Promotion Board and the Secretary of State for Border Affairs highlights the government's attention to crucial sectors contributing to the nation's growth and stability.
In summary, Cambodia's bold move to ratify the Marrakesh Agreement amendment showcases its proactive stance in tackling global challenges. With a focus on fisheries conservation, international collaboration, and comprehensive governance, Cambodia sets a precedent for responsible environmental stewardship on the world stage.
