Denmark will take part in the international maritime mission set up by France and Britain to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, AFP reports citing the Danish government.

“This will involve a contribution including a group of interpreters, drone capabilities, staff officers as well as the possibility of mobilising expertise in the cyber domain,” Defence Minister Jeppe Bruus tells reporters, declining to provide further details on the size of the contribution.

The aim is “to strengthen maritime security and guarantee freedom of navigation in and around the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea,” according to a bill submitted to the Danish parliament, which is expected to pass before the end of the week.
