India has been invited by the United Kingdom to join urgent international talks aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil route disrupted by ongoing conflict. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri is attending the virtual meeting alongside representatives from over 30 countries. The discussions focus on restoring safe maritime navigation and stabilising global energy supplies, as the strait handles nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil trade. The initiative reflects growing global concern over rising fuel prices and trade disruptions. India’s participation highlights its strategic interest in securing energy routes and maintaining stability in global shipping corridors. (PC: Reuters)
