Sol discusses Strait security with Paris
South Korea and France discussed cooperation during a summit in Paris to enhance security and freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, without addressing the deployment of military forces. The talks focused on restoring freedom of navigation and achieving stability in global supply chains, as South Korea relies on the strait for 61% of its oil imports and 54% of naphtha. Seoul is currently exploring options to contribute to maritime security, with a review underway and no final decision made yet, emphasizing that this is unrelated to discussions on investment with the United States. These steps come amid escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, with Iran warning of consequences for any South Korean military support in the strait.
