Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, guests could not attend the forum in person. Meanwhile, network video broadcast could not be realized at the forum because of technical reasons. The chief scientists from the Marine and Coastal Resources Department of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Thailand invited by the European American Chamber of Commerce and Industry also failed to watch the opening ceremony online as scheduled. However, the organizing committee said that the people of all countries tested by the epidemic will be more aware of the power of solidarity and cooperation, and East Asia Marine Cooperation Platform Qingdao Forum will surely become an important carrier for ASEAN countries and China, Japan and the ROK (10+3) to carry out multilevel and practical cooperation and jointly create future marine cooperation in East Asia.
