March 17 (Reuters) - A diplomatic adviser to the UAE president, Anwar Gargash, said on Tuesday that his country could join an international effort led by the U.S. to ensure the safety and security of the Strait of Hormuz.

Speaking in an online event organised by the American think tank the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Gargash said that the UAE does not currently have active talks with Iran.

His comments come amid growing concerns over the security of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
