India joined a UK-led 35-nation virtual summit on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, with Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri representing New Delhi. The talks aim to restore safe maritime transit amid disruptions caused by the ongoing Iran conflict. India is simultaneously engaging regional players, including Iran, to ensure unimpeded shipping. Officials said six Indian vessels have recently crossed safely through the corridor. New Delhi also denied reports of paying transit tolls. The United States is not part of the meeting, while the UK emphasised diplomatic coordination to stabilise the crucial energy route and ease global supply pressures.
