Before giving the floor to speakers in explanation of position on the resolution just adopted, I would like to remind delegations that explanations are limited to 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Yakut (Türkiye)
Turkey joined the consensus on resolution 75/89, on sustainable fisheries, because Turkey is fully committed to the conservation, management and sustainable use of marine living resources and attaches great importance to regional cooperation to that end. However, Turkey dissociates itself from the references made in the resolution to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the 199…
Mr. Guerra Sansonetti (Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela)
We express our appreciation to Mr. Andreas Kravik of Norway for facilitating the negotiations on resolution 75/89.

The Acting President
We have heard the last speaker in explanation of position on the resolution just adopted. The exercise of the right of reply has been requested. I remind members that statements in the exercise of the right of reply are limited to 10 minutes for the first intervention and to five minutes for the second intervention and should be made by delegations from their seats.
Mr. Liu Yang (China)
During the current debate, the representatives of a number of countries made irresponsible comments concerning the South China Sea that China firmly opposes. The United Nations is not the proper place to discuss the South China Sea issue, but China must respond to the rhetoric of those countries. China’s position on the South China Sea has been consistent and clear. China’s territorial sovereig…
Ms. Ruhama (Malaysia)
My delegation has taken note of the statements made by several delegations concerning the South China Sea. I wish to place on record that Malaysia’s position on the South China Sea issue, which is based on its principles, remains unchanged.

Ms. Gandini (Argentina)
In response to the statement delivered by a Member State in the current debate on oceans and the law of the sea, Argentina wishes to state the following. Argentina’s request during the preparation of the second World Ocean Assessment, in line with its communications submitted in a timely fashion to the Secretariat, was that editorial directive ST/CS/ SER.A/42, of 3 August 1999, of the United Nat…
Mr. Proskuryakov (Russian Federation)
Regrettably, the delegation of Ukraine once again expressed a number of politicized clichés, unnecessarily complicating this constructive dialogue. With regard to the maritime claims raised, we do not consider them relevant to the agenda item under discussion and do not consider the General Assembly to be the appropriate forum for resolving the issue.
The Acting President
We have heard the last speaker in the exercise of the right of reply. May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to conclude its consideration of sub-item (b) of agenda item 76?
The Acting President
The General Assembly has thus concluded this stage of its consideration of agenda item 76 and its sub-item (a).
