The European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kallas, emphasized the necessity of maintaining open navigation routes in the Red Sea due to threats posed by Houthi forces. According to Jin10, Kallas highlighted the strategic importance of these maritime pathways for international trade and security. The ongoing instability in the region, driven by Houthi activities, poses significant risks to shipping and could disrupt global commerce.
