Oman's Foreign Minister: Does not support charging tolls for passage through the Strait of Hormuz According to a report by Golden Finance, on the 29th local time, the Omani Ministry of Foreign Affairs released the relevant content of Foreign Minister Badr's recent interview. Badr stated that Oman has always been committed to ensuring a safe, peaceful, and free navigation environment for all parties in the Strait of Hormuz. He pointed out that Oman and Iran have reached a consensus in the current dialogue that any future arrangements involving the Strait of Hormuz must be carried out within the framework of international law. Regarding the issue of tolls that has attracted attention from the outside world, Badr stated that Oman does not support imposing tolls on transit vessels, but he has not ruled out the possibility of exploring mechanisms related to maritime services. Bader said that it is possible to explore issues such as strengthening navigation safety, enhancing emergency response capabilities for maritime accidents, and preventing marine pollution, which can be learned from other relevant practices in the strait. He said that such arrangements will be developed in consultation with countries and shipping companies using the Strait of Hormuz waterway, with the aim of improving maritime services and ensuring navigation safety, rather than adding new burdens to global trade.
