Summary
Emmanuel Macron and Sultan Haitham bin Tariq said in Paris they would promote restriction-free transit through the Strait of Hormuz and support reopening the waterway.
A joint statement from Macron’s office said the two leaders reaffirmed freedom of navigation “without conditions or restrictions,” including transit passage rights under the law of the sea.
The statement framed the move as a push to restore normal shipping through one of the region’s most strategically important maritime chokepoints.
