Singapore Senior Minister of State for Defence: disruptions in the Straits of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab threaten energy and food supplies globally

Strait of Hormuz, Iran ·

Singapore's Senior Minister of State for Defence, Zaki Mohammad, speaking at the Manama Dialogue forum, said the disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab have exposed gaps in global maritime security. He said the effects reached energy and food supplies, trade and supply chains, extending from the Middle East to Asia and Western countries. He added that continued shipping traffic does not mean the routes are safe.

The Strait of Hormuz and the Bab al-Mandab strait are narrow sea passages linking the Gulf and the Arabian Sea with the Red Sea, and a large share of the world's oil exports and goods pass through them.
