Bahrain and Greece discuss enhancing coordination at the Security Council to protect navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab

Bahrain ·

Bahrain's foreign minister, Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, discussed in a phone call on Wednesday with his Greek counterpart, Giorgos Gerapetritis, ways to strengthen bilateral cooperation. They also discussed coordinating positions during their countries' Security Council membership, especially on protecting freedom and safety of navigation in Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab.

The Strait of Hormuz links the Gulf to the Arabian Sea via the Gulf of Oman, while Bab al-Mandab links the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden; both are major shipping routes whose navigation safety has drawn growing international attention.
