MEA Confirms India Attending UK-Hosted Meeting To Discuss Reopening Strait Of Hormuz

The United Kingdom has invited India for talks on reopening the Strait of Hormuz amid escalating West Asia tensions. The Ministry of External Affairs confirmed India’s Foreign Secretary will attend the discussions. The Strait of Hormuz is vital for India’s energy security, as over 88% of its crude oil is imported, with more than half sourced from West Asia. Safe and uninterrupted passage through this key waterway is essential to prevent disruptions in oil supply and protect India’s economic and strategic interests amid the ongoing regional crisis.
