A minister of state for the United Arab Emirates called for regional de-escalation and the free passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, according to Anadolu Agency, which cited the official's address to the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
The remarks were delivered as part of the UAE's contribution to the annual high-level UN General Assembly debate, where member states outline their positions on international and regional affairs, Anadolu Agency reported.
According to the report, the minister urged parties in the region to work toward reducing tensions and emphasized the importance of maintaining unrestricted passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for global energy shipments.
Anadolu Agency did not provide further details on the minister's identity or additional specifics of the speech in the excerpt reviewed.
The Strait of Hormuz, located between Iran and Oman, is one of the world's most strategically significant maritime chokepoints, with a substantial share of global oil shipments passing through it. Calls for safeguarding free navigation through the strait have recurred amid periodic tensions in the Gulf region.
