China should put pressure on Iran to restore shipping in Hormuz. This was stated at the forum "War and Peace" in Paris by the Chief of the General Staff of the French Navy, Admiral Nicolas Vaujour.
According to him, Beijing will have to "engage in more direct interaction" with Tehran to fully open the Strait of Hormuz.
"We have not seen the Chinese navy intervene to reopen the strait. On the other hand, there is a direct political dialogue between the Chinese and Iranian authorities in order to ensure the passage of a certain number of vessels. Is this enough to restore normal traffic? I don't think so. As a result, China will probably have to participate more actively in the debate and express dissatisfaction with the fact that the strait remains closed," the admiral said, quoted by The Guardian.
Vozhur also noted that there is still no evidence that the Strait of Hormuz is mined.
"Obviously, this is an issue that we are working on... but as of today it has not yet been confirmed," the admiral stressed.
In mid-March, French President Emmanuel Macron said after a video conference of the leaders of the G7 countries that he did not yet have confirmation that the Iranians were laying mines in The Strait of Hormuz, BFMTV reported.
As reported by EADaily, the British Prime Minister and the German Chancellor discussed unblocking the Strait of Hormuz. This was reported by the office of Cyrus Starmer.
