BANGKOK: Thailand has asked Oman to help ensure safe passage of its vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, The Nations newspaper reported after the talks between Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow and Omani Deputy Prime Minister for Defense Affairs Shihab bin Tarik Al Said.
The talks were focused on the security situation in the Middle East, in particular, issues of safe navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, the newspaper said.
