UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is meeting with Gulf partners this week to discuss diplomatic efforts to support and uphold the US-Iran ceasefire in order to bring about a lasting resolution to the conflict and protect the global economy from further threats, writes Stanley Szecowka.
During the visit, the Prime Minister will make clear his government’s commitment to de-escalation, and hold further talks on practical efforts to restore full freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
Starmer said he welcomed the ceasefire agreement reached, which brought ‘a moment of relief to the region and the world’.
“Together with our partners we must do all we can to support and sustain this ceasefire, turn it into a lasting agreement and re-open the Strait of Hormuz,” he added.
As detailed by the Prime Minister last week, the UK is continuing to lead the international effort, convening allies from across the world to ensure the Strait of Hormuz is reopened.
