Pakistan says 20 more ships to sail through Hormuz

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Thursday that Iran had agreed to allow 20 Pakistani-flagged vessels to transit the Strait of Hormuz. He described Iran’s decision as meaning step towards peace which could help restore stability to a region on the edge.

Pakistan foreign minister posted on X that two ships would cross daily under the arrangement. He also viewed the deal as far more than a bilateral shipping agreement, hailing it as a welcome and constructive gesture.
