Omani Foreign Minister Stresses Securing Vital Waterways
The Omani Foreign Minister, Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, emphasized the importance of keeping vital waterways, especially the Strait of Hormuz, open and secure for maritime navigation and international trade. During his participation in a meeting in Manila, he stressed that international law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, forms the basis for maritime security and freedom of navigation—both of which are essential for global trade, food security, and energy supplies. He explained that maintaining these waterways requires responsible cooperation among nations, citing the example of the Malacca and Singapore Straits. He also reaffirmed Oman's commitment to supporting dialogue and the peaceful resolution of disputes, as well as strengthening maritime cooperation with Southeast Asian countries to ensure stability and security in the maritime routes.
