Oman’s balanced foreign policies praised by Chinese ambassador

Muscat: Li Lingbing, Ambassador of the People's Republic of China, has valued the role of the Sultanate of Oman based on maintaining peace, moderation and balanced foreign policy under the leadership of His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik. "We highly appreciate Oman's long-term peaceful, moderate and balanced foreign policy. It is always playing an unique role to promote dialogue and consensus among parties in conflict, and made positive contributions to regional and world peace," said Li Lingbing in an interview to Oman News Agency (ONA). The ambassador added Oman enjoys enormous advantages in rich resources, great security environment and outstanding geographical location. It is an important partner of China's "Belt and Road" initiative. The key areas and cooperation models involved in the "Belt and Road" initiative have a high degree of compatibility with the "Oman Vision 2040" and the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" proposed by the Omani government. There is a huge potential for the two sides in strategic coordination and development cooperation. "China and Oman have always been good partners for mutual benefit and good brothers sharing weal and woe," said the ambassador, adding that, through this strategic partnership, the two countries strive to continue cooperating about all international issues,
