Sheikh Mubarak noted that“the visit would provide an opportunity to exchange views on global challenges and current issues. It would also contribute to opening new vistas of mutual understanding and strategic partnerships between Oman and Qatar, as well as pushing these partnerships towards higher levels by boosting constructive bilateral cooperation.”
He said both countries' bilateral relations have been witnessing“remarkable growth and development in all fields, especially in joint investments,” citing many Qatari investments in Oman, such as the Karwa Motors project and the Qatari Diar Ras Al Hadd project.
Sayyid Ammar bin Abdullah al-Busaidi, Oman's ambassador to Qatar, previously told ONA that Qatari investments in the Sultanate cover a wide range of industries like food and pharmaceutical security, as well as other sectors like banking, education, communications and technology, construction, wholesale trade, tourism, logistics, mining, real estate, communications, and insurance, among others.
