The United Kingdom invited India to participate in high-level international talks aimed at reopening the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, disrupted due to escalating tensions involving Iran, the US, and Israel. India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri attended the meeting alongside representatives from over 30–35 countries, focusing on diplomatic and political solutions rather than military action. The discussions highlighted the urgent need to restore safe maritime navigation and stabilise global energy supplies, as the strait carries a significant portion of the world’s oil trade. India reiterated its commitment to free and secure shipping routes while engaging with Iran to ensure safe passage for vessels amid the ongoing crisis. (PC: India Today)
