EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas has welcomed the ceasefire agreement reached between the United States and Iran, she stated on her “X” account, APA reports.
"The U.S.–Iran agreement on a ceasefire is a step back from the brink after weeks of escalation. It creates a much-needed chance to tone down threats, stop missiles, restart shipping, and create space for diplomacy towards a lasting agreement," the statement noted.
Kallas also stressed the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
"The Strait of Hormuz must be open for passage again. I spoke to Pakistani Foreign Minister and thanked him for securing this initial deal. The door to mediation must remain open, as the underlying causes of the war remain unresolved. The EU stands ready to support those efforts and is in touch with partners in the region. I will discuss this in Saudi Arabia today," she emphasized.
