Sommaire mis à jour le 9 juil. 2026

A journalist asks Anwar to clarify the High Representative’s reference to EU foreign ministers speaking with Gulf counterparts about freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, seeking details on the format of the EU–GCC engagement and whether the EU will move beyond symbolic solidarity towards concrete support measures for Gulf states.

I have a question on Iran for Anwar, is that okay?

Please go ahead.

Intervenant 1

The HRVP said in a tweet yesterday that EU foreign ministers would speak with Gulf counterparts on Monday to discuss freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, and obviously this came after renewed attacks between Iran and the US. So I'm assuming she's referring to the EU-Gulf Cooperation Council high-level forum taking place over lunch Monday. Could you tell us a bit more about those discussions? Are they, is it a video call or are any ministers from the Gulf coming? And will this be a display of solidarity again from the EU towards Gulf states, or is there actually going to be any concrete steps of support that are going to be discussed?

Thanks.
