(VOVworld) – The UK government has launched its first national strategy to ensure maritime safety and security. It is aimed at creating a secure maritime area where international maritime laws are upheld, and would help other nations increase their own maritime security.
The strategy is designed to boost the safety and security of maritime routes that play a vital role in global trade and energy delivery. To achieve these goals, the strategy includes ways to increase cooperation with British allies around the world.The strategy addresses the British government’s concern about escalating tensions in the East Sea and East China Sea and its belief in the resolution of sea conflicts through peaceful means, within the framework of international law, while promoting freedom of maritime transport and trade.
