Iran, Oman voice readiness to further expand bilateral relations
The Iranian and Omani foreign ministers have expressed their respective countries’ readiness to work towards further expansion of the bilateral relations.
The remarks were exchanged during a telephone conversation between Abbas Araghchi and Badr Albusaidi on Monday.
Albusaidi relayed Omani Sultan Haitham bin Tariq’s special attention towards the issue of the mutual relations and the monarch’s wish for further development of the ties.
He voiced his preparedness to work closely with his Iranian counterpart to ensure implementation of existing agreements between the two sides.
“Muscat welcomes continuation of political consultations between the countries,” the Omani official also noted.
Albusaidi, meanwhile, congratulated Araghchi on his recent appointment as the Islamic Republic’s top diplomat.
For his part, the Iranian foreign minister expressed his reciprocal readiness for close cooperation and interaction with the Omani official concerning issues of mutual interest in the bilateral, regional, and international areas.
“Fortunately Tehran-Muscat relations are expanding in all aspects,” Araghchi said.
Pointing to the ongoing challenges that face the West Asia region, he said, “Continuation of consultations and cooperation between the countries in various areas, including the regional issues, would help resolve the existing problems in addition to meeting [the nations’] mutual interests.”
Araghchi also expressed his gratitude towards the Omani official for felicitating him on the occasion of his appointment as the Islamic Republic’s foreign minister.
Majlis (the Iranian parliament) approved Araghchi for the portfolio on Wednesday. He took over the position from acting foreign minister Ali Bagheri Kani, who had temporarily served as Iran’s top diplomat following the death of former foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in a helicopter crash in May.
Albusaidi visited the Iranian capital Tehran on May 27, exchanging views with Kani, on various regional issues, particularly the Israeli regime's genocidal war against the Gaza Strip.
