PM Attends UN Ocean Conference in France

Prime Minister John Briceño departed Belize on June 7 to attend the United Nations Ocean Conference 2025 in Nice, France.

The Prime Minister is scheduled to return on June 15, following the conclusion of the international conference focused on ocean-related issues and maritime policy.

During Briceño’s absence, Deputy Prime Minister Cordel Hyde will serve as acting Prime Minister.

The UN Ocean Conference brings together world leaders, scientists, and policymakers to address critical issues affecting the world’s oceans, including climate change, marine conservation, and sustainable development.

This year’s parade theme is “Ocean Wonders,” which aims to draw attention to the importance of ocean conservation and inspire stronger commitments from governments.
