Omani Statement on Red Sea Incidents
Oman has monitored the developments in the Red Sea region, emphasizing the importance of avoiding escalation that threatens navigation freedom and regional security. The sultanate continues its diplomatic efforts in coordination with Saudi Arabia, Yemeni parties, and the UN envoy to restore the political track and achieve stability, focusing on supporting dialogue and easing tensions—especially after successfully securing the release of the crew of the "Galaxy Leader" vessel and a ceasefire in Yemen. Although Oman is not geographically coastline-adjacent to the Red Sea, its interest aligns with its foreign policy of maintaining security and stability and promoting regional cooperation. The Port of Salalah has suffered damage as a result of recent events, and the deteriorating situation has led to increased land shipping traffic through Oman. Tensions in the Red Sea are affecting international navigation, particularly with the Houthi group closing the strait and threatening commercial ships, which raises costs and disrupts global trade.
