In a message to Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said on Saturday, President Ebrahim Raisi congratulated the Omani people and government on the Arab country’s National Day.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran is determined to employ all capacities to promote cooperation and strengthen the existing relations with the Sultanate of Oman by relying on the historical ties as well as the religious, cultural and popular bonds,” Raisi said.
Oman celebrates its National Day on November 18, the birthday of late Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said, who reigned from 1970 to January 2020.
Sultan Qaboos played an important role in facilitating the early stages of nuclear talks between Iran and world powers, which led to a comprehensive deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in July 2015.
