On 2 April 2026, Ambassador James Kariuki, UK Chargé d’Affaires to the UN, spoke at the UN Security Council about cooperation between the United Nations and the League of Arab States. He welcomed the discussion, noting the League’s role in promoting dialogue, de‑escalation and regional stability. Kariuki highlighted Iran’s actions, which have escalated tensions across the Gulf, threatened the Strait of Hormuz and imposed economic costs worldwide. He said the UK is working with 37 countries to condemn Iran’s actions and to reopen the Strait. The UK also convened more than forty partners to develop a plan for reopening the Strait. He urged the Council to adopt a united response and support the League’s long‑term solutions for stability.
