The United Nations Secretary-General established a special working group on the situation in the Strait of Hormuz

On March 28, United Nations Secretary-General Spokesperson Diyarik said on the situation in the Strait of Hormuz that as the conflict in the Middle East continues to develop and is likely to escalate further, the interruption of maritime trade through the Strait of Hormuz may be in the future. Several months have triggered a chain reaction that affects humanitarian needs and agricultural production. Although Secretary-General Guterres is committed to making every effort to achieve a comprehensive and lasting solution to the conflict, it is crucial to take immediate action to mitigate these consequences. To address these challenges, the Secretary-General has established a dedicated working group. The working group is led by Da Silva, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Executive Director of the United Nations Project Services. The working group will also include representatives from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the International Maritime Organization and the International Chamber of Commerce, and will invite other agencies to participate as needed. The main focus of the working group is to develop and propose specialized technical mechanisms to address humanitarian needs in the Strait of Hormuz. (CCTV News)
