South Korea to push for the release of ships in the Strait of Hormuz, media says

SEOUL, April 8 (Reuters) - South Korea's presidential Blue House said on Wednesday that the government would do its best to ensure the country's ships can pass through the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible based on the conditions created under a two-week ceasefire agreed between the U.S. and Iran, local media reported.

South Korea would consult with shipping companies and accelerate communication with related countries to ensure the passage of the ships, the reports said.
