The Hormuz Security Summit in April 2026 was held in Paris, where leaders from multiple countries gathered to discuss maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz. Co-chaired by the French President and the British Prime Minister, the summit aimed to establish a multinational force to ensure freedom of navigation and protect civilian trade routes. The meeting addressed concerns arising from a maritime blockade that disrupted global oil transit and affected thousands of seafarers. Paris, as a major diplomatic hub, served as the venue for this high-level international collaboration focused on maintaining regional stability and economic security.
