SUMMARY:Shared Interests, Shared Actions in Maritime Security
LOCATION:Riyadh
DESCRIPTION:In cooperation with the Gulf Research Center (GRC), the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) Regional Programme Gulf States will host a closed-door workshop on protecting freedom of navigation in waterways around the Arabian Peninsula from 5-6 November 2025. Maritime security in these waters faces its greatest challenges in decades, and the events of the past two years have demonstrated that neither European countries, the Gulf states, nor other littoral powers can take freedom of navigation for granted. Simultaneously, responses in the EU and GCC to recent threats to maritime security in the Red Sea and Gulf have diverged, with each bloc following distinct approaches to address these challenges. This workshop provides opportunities for experts, political decision-makers, and military leaders from Saudi Arabia, European countries, and East African states to exchange perspectives on how to safeguard freedom of maritime navigation in a global political environment characterised by turbulence, upheaval, and challenges to international law and global norms.
