Military planners from more than 30 countries are set to convene at the UK's Permanent Joint Headquarters in Northwood, North London, as part of a UK and France led effort to develop a coordinated plan aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz, according to an official press release by the UK Ministry of Defence.

The two-day conference, beginning on Wednesday (April 22), is intended to advance detailed military planning under a multinational framework following a proposed ceasefire agreement.
