Military representatives from more than 30 nations are convening in London for strategic discussions aimed at reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz. The British government announced the two-day meeting begins Wednesday, where detailed plans will be crafted to secure the strait for international shipping.
The mission, spearheaded by Britain and France, follows a commitment from over a dozen countries last week to collaborate on ensuring safe passage through the strait. This assembly comes amidst a backdrop of previous virtual discussions involving around 50 countries globally, reaffirming the need for collective action, especially in light of U.S. President Donald Trump's earlier remarks about allies' support.
UK Defence Minister John Healey emphasized the significance of transforming diplomatic consensus into actionable military strategies. The agenda includes outlining military capabilities, command structures, and deployment strategies, all contingent upon a sustainable ceasefire.
