Kuwait ports authority manager said there is
coordination between Gulf and Arab countries to secure the safety of maritime
traffic in Gulf waters, according to a statement on Kuwait’s news agency.
The ports authority manager also said that the
impact of the latest developments in the Gulf region was “slight on Kuwaiti
ports traffic.”
Washington in June first proposed some sort of
multinational effort open to all allies and partners to bolster maritime
security in the Gulf after accusing Iran of attacking oil tankers around the
Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime chokepoint between Iran and Oman.
