BlockBeats news, on March 28, spokesperson for the United Nations Secretary-General Dujarric stated regarding the situation in the Strait of Hormuz that, as the conflict in the Middle East continues to evolve and may escalate further, disruptions in maritime trade through the Strait of Hormuz could trigger a chain reaction in the coming months, affecting humanitarian needs and agricultural production. Although Secretary-General Guterres is committed to doing everything possible to achieve a comprehensive and lasting resolution 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 will be led by the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General and Executive Director of the United Nations Office for Project Services, D’Silva. The 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 entities to participate as needed. The main focus of the working group is to develop and propose specialized technical mechanisms to meet the humanitarian needs in the Strait of Hormuz. (CCTV News)
