NEW YORK: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has launched an interagency task force to help secure the passage of fertilizers through the Strait of Hormuz, his spokesperson announced on Friday.
“As the conflict in the Middle East unfolds and threatens to intensify, disruptions in maritime trade through the Strait of Hormuz risk creating ripple effects impacting humanitarian needs and agricultural production in the coming months,” Stephane Dujarric said. “Immediate action is essential to mitigate these consequences.”
