Singapore Foreign Minister Warns Strait of Hormuz Is an Asian Issue
Singapore’s Foreign Minister, Vivian Balakrishnan, stated that U.S. President Donald Trump did not entirely make a mistake in saying that disruptions to energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz pose a problem for Asia, especially since Asian economies are among the biggest consumers of the energy passing through there. He emphasized that maintaining freedom of navigation through the waterway, in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, is a fundamental principle for Singapore. Any attempt to impose control over movement through the Strait of Hormuz goes beyond just generating revenue; it becomes a existential and legal issue. He also warned that long-term disruptions could lead to serious consequences for the region.
