Iran: Call for Boosting Oman Ties |
|
Iranian ambassador in Muscat on Tuesday called for expansion of ties with Oman.
Morteza Rahimi told Oman-based newspaper Al-Shabiba that the recent visit of deputy to Oman Sultan Qaboos, Fahd bin Mahmoud Al-Said, is considered a positive step toward strengthening bilateral ties, IRNA quoted.
He added that during Al-Said's visit, agreements in the fields of politics, economy, culture, oil and gas were signed and this was among the important achievements of his visit.
"On the sidelines of Al-Said's visit, the possibility of establishing a joint research center, publishing books in Persian and Arabic languages and translating archeological books into Arabic were discussed," he said.
He announced that an educational Iranian center for teaching Persian language will be established in Oman under the supervision of the Iranian Embassy in Muscat.
Referring to the meeting of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with the deputy to Oman's Sultan Qaboos, the envoy said ways to develop bilateral cooperation were also discussed.
Rahimi expressed hope that the Oman's Sultan Qaboos would visit Iran in the near future.
Pointing to the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) Summit in Riyadh and transfer of its rotating presidency from Qatar to Oman, Rahimi said the Riyadh summit was very important.
"Oman plays a key role in bringing PGCC members closer," he said.
Referring to tourism cooperation, Rahimi noted that cooperation in the field of tourism is not very extensive, calling for establishing direct Tehran-Muscat air link. During Al-Said's visit to Iran on April 20, President Ahmadinejad named Oman a brotherly country, calling for expansion of bilateral ties. He also underscored the deep-rooted relations between the Islamic Republic and Oman, expressing hope that Al-Said's visit would help develop bilateral ties and regional cooperation.
Ahmadinejad further said Iran-Oman cooperation should become a model for other regional countries, stressing that there is no obstacle to bolstering bilateral ties.
