Sultan Haitham bin Tarik—the Sultan of Oman, made an official visit to the Islamic Republic of Iran from 28 May to 29 May 2023 in response to an invitation by Dr.
Ebrahim Raisi, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
During this visit, the two leaders discussed bilateral relations and ways of enhancing them, notably in the areas of trade, energy, investment and culture — with the prime aim of achieving mutual benefits and cementing bonds between the two friendly peoples.
Bilateral relations
The two sides expressed their satisfaction with the lofty status of bilateral relations, noting that these relations experienced greater growth, especially after the Iranian President’s visit to Oman last year upon the invitation of His Majesty the Sultan of Oman.
The two sides expressed their keenness to expand relations in the future. They pledged their support for the joint committees and work teams. They also welcomed the exchange of visits aimed at following up the development of relations.
