We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait.

Nothing about safeguarding. Contributions to “appropriate efforts” could be anything from providing SIGINT, teaching someone how to use an anti-drone capability, to tutting loudly.

Appropriate is quite the weasel word in this context.

And whatever “appropriate” is, the group will only be contributing towards “appropriate”, not doing “appropriate” directly.
