How to use strait in a sentence?
It must be seen that the forces of Taiwan independence are obstinately and resolutely promoting their separatist position, and this is the biggest threat to the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif:
We believe that Iran will continue to sell its oil, we will continue to find buyers for our oil and we will continue to use the Strait of Hormuz as a safe transit passage for the sale of our oil.
We will strive to make progress in discussion and dialogue between the two sides of the strait, advance cross-strait economic integration for mutual benefit and promote local and youth exchanges, we are firmly confident that the peaceful growth of cross-strait relations is a historical trend that can be neither resisted nor reversed.
The facts are that Taiwan is much more entwined with the People's Republic of China and Taiwan cannot avoid cross-Strait engagement, it is no longer a question of whether to have a cross-Strait relationship, but how to conduct it.
Thank you and your crew for outstanding work in defending high value assets in the Strait of Hurmuz, the Red Sea.
