The Sultan’s visit is considered a milestone in diplomatic relations between New Delhi and Muscat, with India and Oman sharing deep-rooted historical, cultural, and economic ties. Established in 1955, diplomatic relations were elevated to a strategic partnership in 2008.
In a gesture of diplomatic camaraderie, India extended a special invitation to Oman to participate in the G20 Summit and associated meetings as a guest country under India’s G20 Presidency. Oman actively engaged in over 150 working group meetings, with nine of its ministers participating in various G20 ministerial meetings, showcasing the depth and breadth of the bilateral relationship between the two nations.
Giving a boost to 🇮🇳-🇴🇲 Strategic Partnership!
