President of Security Council Briefs Press after Security Council Meeting

Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani (second from left in front), Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain and President of the Security Council for the month of April, arrives to brief reporters after the Security Council meeting on the situation in the Middle East.

The Security Council voted on a draft resolution by several Gulf States that intended to strongly encourage countries to coordinate defensive efforts and deter attempts to interfere with international navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. The draft resolution was not adopted due to vetoes by Russian Federation and China.
