Thirty-five nations that have signed or officially deposited their instruments of ratification or approval took part in the event, which was within the framework of the ongoing third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) in France.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son presented Vietnam's ratification document to UN Under Secretary-General for Legal Affairs and Legal Counsel Elinor Jane Britt Hammarskjöld, officially confirming the country's approval of the High Seas Treaty.

Vietnam is one of the first nations to sign the agreement on its opening day and among the leading countries to complete internal procedures for treaty membership. This sends a powerful message of Vietnam 's role as an active, responsible member of the international community, working alongside global partners to address ocean and marine challenges. The treaty will take effect after 60 countries submit ratification or approval documents.
