Pleased to meet UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband. We discussed the Strait of Hormuz and the urgent need for stakeholders to cooperate on UNCLOS obligations.
@business Oman has defined a clear position within international law; whilst transit fees would be unacceptable, there is precedent for service fees in, for example, the Strait of Malacca. Interesting that the UK and French govts have been supportive of their approach.
I made a music video to celebrate the Muscat Plan.
The world can learn from these ideas: cultural wisdom, social solidarity, and strong traditions.
