French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer convened at the Elysée Palace to discuss international security in the Strait of Hormuz. They plan to hold a video conference with European allies to deliberate on forming a multinational force to secure the strategic waterway after the conflict in Iran concludes. This initiative aims to ensure safe and stable passage through the vital maritime route.
The meeting underscores the importance of collaboration between France, the UK, and their European partners in maintaining regional stability. The discussions reflect ongoing concerns about safeguarding global trade routes and preventing disruptions in a critical area for international shipping. The video conference will further define the role and deployment of the proposed multinational security force.
