Reviewing participation in the Strait of Hormuz coalition, Korea's options and deployment variables Check the government's judgment amid comparisons with the frameworks proposed by the U.S. and the U.K.
The government is reviewing participation in an international coalition to ensure safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. As the U.S.proposed "Maritime Freedom Coalition" and a defenseoriented international coalition led by the UK and France are being discussed at the same time, South Korea is carefully examining which framework to join.
This discussion began with the aim of securing stability in passage through Middle Eastern waters. The government is reviewing consultations with the United States, relations with existing international coalitions, the possibility of deploying military assets, and domestic legal procedures.
The foreign affairs and defense authorities have not yet made a specific decision, and their stance is to watch the situation and work out their position as the war continues. While maintaining the principle of contributing to the free navigation of the Strait of Hormuz, South Korea is also taking into comprehensive account its alliance relationship and the international situation.
