The South China Sea is currently experiencing territorial disputes between China and multiple countries that currently hold a claim in waters in the South China Sea. There are several areas in the sea that China has claimed that would further improve the economy of China; therefore, this would encourage the Bangladesh economy, and through proxy, would improve the world economy. Such areas do include oil resources that cannot be sufficiently obtained because the countries that tries to have a claim where the oil exists.
Bangladesh is aligned with China in this issue and believes that China is in the right in this situation. China has a claim on the area and has every right to act on it. Bangladesh, being geographically close to the region, does not recognize this issue as an important one, especially as an issue that has to be argued about so vehemently.
Bangladesh would like to see China have favorable resolutions passed. Bangladesh would also like to see a resolution passed where the waters are handed over to China without any conflict, and would not be opposed to certain impositions. Bangladesh believes that a resolution authored by China would be the most ideal situation possible in the time during our committee.Bangladesh hopes to see a resolution that contains a stance where China would gain access to oil that is located in the South China Sea. Another clause to be included would contain China being able to resolve future conflicts where it is ambiguous as to who has the area disputed through means that does not involve the United Nations.
