Minister Hwang Jong-woo of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries stated that the setting of transit fees in the Hormuz Strait is a violation of international law, emphasizing the lack of international legal basis for Iran's transit fee claims. He is actively pursuing related policies such as the relocation of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries headquarters to Busan and support for shipping companies, while also focusing on securing maritime security and hosting the UN Conference on the Law of the Sea.
