Saudi Arabia heads coalition for global trade security
Saudi Arabia announced the establishment of the "Multinational Maritime Defense Coalition" with the aim of enhancing international maritime security, safeguarding vital shipping routes, and countering threats that impact navigation and global trade. The coalition seeks to increase cooperation among participating nations, especially to protect energy supply routes and trade passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden—key strategic passages that connect global markets. It has been agreed that Saudi Arabia will serve as the founding and leading nation of the coalition, with the establishment of a joint command and naval operations centers. This move comes in response to the growing maritime security challenges and threats to worldwide shipping and oil transportation.
