The conference on Maritime Security in the Red Sea and Gulfs of Aden and Oman concluded its activities in the Jordanian capital, Amman, on Monday - September 16th 2021. The conference was organized by the Maritime Security Unit and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, with the participation of delegations from the United States, Russia, NATO, UK, Germany, Japan, Australia, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the State of Qatar and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

The meeting was held due to the importance of the Red Sea region and the Gulfs of Aden and Oman in guaranteeing the flow of oil and gas supplies needed to achieve energy security. Additionally, this geographical zone represents an important pillar in maintaining international economy and trade. Despite the importance of this maritime zone in maintaining global security, the prescribed zone did not receive the proper attention by resident countries.
