The Prime Minister expressed gratitude for the action and hoped that the ongoing process would lead to a lasting agreement, ensuring durable peace and stability for the region and beyond. According to him, reducing tensions in one of the world\u2019s most important maritime passages could pave the way for reconciliation and increased cooperation among regional countries.<\/p>\n
