India is set to participate in international discussions on maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz, with Foreign Secretary attending a meeting organized by the United Kingdom. This initiative comes amid rising tensions in West Asia, particularly concerning the safety of this vital oil and gas transit route. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed that India is engaged in dialogues with Iran and other regional countries to ensure safe passage for its vessels transporting essential supplies like liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG). The UK has convened over 30 nations to address these issues, with a coalition of 35 countries recently issuing a statement urging Iran to cease its blockade of the Strait and reaffirming support for safe maritime navigation. Confirmed participants in the coalition include countries such as France, Germany, Japan, and Australia, reflecting a broad international commitment to maintaining security in this crucial area.
