NEW YORK (HRNW): Saudi Arabia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Wasil, has emphasized that ensuring the safety of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz is a shared international responsibility. Addressing the UN Security Council, Dr. Al-Wasil highlighted that the protection of critical routes for the delivery of energy, food, and medicine is indispensable for global stability.
Dr. Al-Wasil noted that the Strait of Hormuz serves as a vital artery for the global economy, yet the world is currently witnessing extraordinary tensions and conflicts surrounding this waterway. He stressed the necessity of respecting state sovereignty, urging all parties to refrain from the use or threat of force and to adhere strictly to the principles of good neighborliness.

-
Security Imperative: The statement reaffirmed that any disruption to these transit routes poses a direct threat not only to regional peace but also to the health of the global financial and resource markets.
