Foreign Minister Saeed Badr bin Hamad bin Hamoud Al Busaidi delivered Oman's statement to the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly on Sept. 26, 2026, warning that an escalating regional conflict has paralyzed navigation through the world's most critical oil chokepoint and calling on all parties to pursue dialogue over confrontation. The address ranged from Strait of Hormuz security and Yemen peace to Palestinian statehood, a new international anti-hate-speech initiative, and domestic climate and governance commitments.
