More than 30 countries are set to join a UK-led virtual meeting aimed at restoring traffic through the Hormuz Strait, a passage that handles a significant share of the world's oil.
The initiative, convened by Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper and backed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, emphasised that they 'will assess all viable diplomatic and political measures we can take to restore freedom of navigation, guarantee the safety of trapped ships and seafarers and to resume the movement of vital commodities.'
