How do you get to 6♦.

Makes 7♦ or 6NT. King of hearts is a stiif in South hand.
It easy to get to 6 with no interferance.

Thank you

It is difficult to bid with the high interference, but this is why they did it.
I would try 4 ♦ which shows dioamonds and is forcing. I would raise to 5 ♦, my three small spades scares me to bid more, despite the nice hand I have in the other suits.
I would try 6 ♦with the west hand, fully accepting, that this may be down from the top....

But no confidence, no nice tools...
Kind Regards

Following Codo, adding the following perspective:
Partner has a 7 loser hand.
1♥ - 4♣ - 4♦ - P
5♦ - P - ?
Now your 5 loser looks golden. Partner should have 3+ card support and missing primes.
I would bid 6♦ assured that 7 is too great a risk in most fields and not certain to make.
Partner might correct to 6N, but we will be happy to play on the 6 level.
Be the partner you want to play with.
Trust demands integrity, balance and collaboration.

all of 4♦-5♦-pass, 4♦-5♣-5♠-6/7♦ and 5♦-5♦-6♦ is reasonable. Just hope you aren't on the first one.
