The United Kingdom has hosted talks with more than 35 countries aimed at addressing disruptions and ensuring the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route.
The discussions, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government, brought together international partners to coordinate responses to rising tensions affecting maritime security in the region. The Strait of Hormuz is a key passage for global oil and gas shipments, making stability in the area a major international concern.
Officials said the talks focused on maintaining freedom of navigation, preventing escalation, and safeguarding energy supplies. While no formal agreement has been publicly announced, the meeting reflects growing international coordination amid uncertainty in the Gulf. The number of participating countries varies across reports, with some sources indicating more than 40 nations were involved.
