Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tariq al-Said has arrived in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Sunday afternoon.






The visit to Iran by the Omani Sultan is taking place upon an official invitation by President Ebrahim Raisi.

The Omani Sultan and his accompanying delegation were accorded a warm welcome by vice president Mohammad Mokhber upon arrival at Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport.

Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tariq is visiting Tehran at the head of a large delegation that includes the ministers of defense, foreign affairs, economy and investment.

President Raisi will also shortly welcome the Sultan of Oman and his accompanying delegation during a formal reception ceremony at the Saadabad Palace in northern Tehran.

The two leaders will hold private discussions afterward.

The talks are expected to cover a wide range of issues, including regional stability, economic and political interactions, as well as cultural exchanges.

The two-day visit has been hailed by both sides as marking “a new chapter” in relations between Iran and Oman.

The invitation was extended as part of the Raeisi administration’s policy of deepening relations with regional countries, and with the aim of exploring new avenues to elevate bilateral relations to new highs.

The Iranian president had traveled to Oman last May for talks over a wide range of issues including, trade, transportation, energy and tourism.
