The Danish government announced that it would provide “a staff officer contribution from the beginning of 2020 and - subject to parliamentary approval in 2020 - a naval contribution beginning in the fall of 2020” to the European-led mission in the Strait of Hormuz (EMASOH). Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod noted that “our contribution will complement other efforts in the region, including the U.S.-led maritime security construct”, adding that “the European-led mission is also expected to be supplemented by diplomatic efforts aimed at enhancing regional dialogue on maritime security”.
