Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has announced that 20 more Pakistani-flagged ships have been allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. He described this development as a positive and important step toward maintaining peace and stability in the region.
According to Ishaq Dar, two Pakistani ships will now be able to transit through the strait each day. This arrangement is expected to help ensure smooth trade flow and reduce delays for shipments moving through this critical route.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important waterways, especially for oil and energy supplies. Any disruption in this area can affect global trade and fuel prices. Allowing Pakistani ships to pass safely is therefore a significant achievement for the country’s trade and logistics sector.
Dar praised the move as constructive and beneficial for regional cooperation. In his statement, he also acknowledged the role of international coordination and tagged officials from the United States and Iran, highlighting their involvement in making this progress possible.
Officials believe that this step will help improve confidence in regional trade routes and support economic stability. It also reflects ongoing diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions and keep important shipping lanes open.
Overall, the decision is seen as a positive sign for Pakistan’s trade activities and its role in promoting peaceful and cooperative solutions in the region.
