Iran: G20 Finance Ministers advocate for safe and cost-free navigation in Ormuz

The G20 finance ministers met in summit in the United States for two days to discuss global economic issues. At the end of these meetings, the ministers issued a joint statement advocating for safe and cost-free navigation in the Strait of Ormuz. The Strait of Ormuz is a strategic waterway that has been blocked by Iran. This G20 position comes in a context of tension between Iran and Washington, at a time when the two countries are in conflict. The defense of freedom of navigation in this region is particularly relevant to the global economy, given that the strait is one of the most important maritime routes for oil transportation.
