RI welcomes reopening of Hormuz Strait to commercial shipping

The Indonesian government welcomed Iran’s announcement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international commercial shipping as a sign of easing geopolitical tensions.

The move is viewed as a positive signal for the stabilization of global energy supplies and the recovery of international trade.

"The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is a positive development for the stability of global energy supplies," the spokesperson for the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Dwi Anggia said in a statement on Friday.

She added that the decision provides certainty for energy distribution channels that were previously disrupted by geopolitical dynamics.

Indonesia had already anticipated various scenarios of global supply disruptions by strengthening national stocks and diversifying energy sources.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that shipping lanes for all commercial vessels through the strait have been declared fully open.
