British Prime Minister Starmer will head to the Gulf region on Wednesday to meet regional leaders for talks aimed at achieving the permanent opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

In a statement, Starmer welcomed the reaching of the ceasefire agreement, saying it would bring a "moment of relief" to the region and the world. He emphasized that the UK will work together with partners to consolidate the results of the ceasefire, promote peace, and ensure the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

According to CCTV News, citing Iranian sources early on the 8th local time, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has invited delegations from Iran and the United States to Islamabad for negotiations. Shehbaz Sharif also stated that the ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. will take effect at 3:30 am Iranian time (8:00 am Beijing time) on the 8th.

This Gulf trip was planned well before the ceasefire agreement was announced. Previously, the UK had led a multinational conference to coordinate support among various parties for restoring navigation in the strait.

On Tuesday, UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper held a phone call with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The two discussed a series of diplomatic measures, including last week's multilateral meeting led by the UK and participated in by more than 40 countries, aiming to ensure the safety and smooth passage of the strait.
