Omani Foreign Minister Stresses Safe Water Passages
Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi emphasized the importance of keeping vital water passages, such as the Strait of Hormuz, open and secure for international navigation and trade. In a participation at a meeting marking the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation in Southeast Asia, he pointed out that international law, especially the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, provides the foundation for maritime security and freedom of navigation, given its necessity in boosting global trade, food security, and energy. He underscored the need for responsible cooperation among coastal states, citing the model of the Malacca Strait and Singapore, and expressed Oman's appreciation for its partnership with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations ("ASEAN"). He reaffirmed Oman’s commitment to supporting dialogue and diplomatic dispute resolution to strengthen the security and stability of maritime corridors.
