Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman arrived in Oman on Monday as part of an official Gulf tour. His arrival in the Omani capital, Muscat, is expected to give a new push for Saudi-Omani relations.

He was received at the airport by Oman’s Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, who wished the Crown Prince and the accompanying delegation a pleasant stay in Oman.

The Crown Prince’s first official visit to the Sultanate comes in light of growing bilateral relations between the two countries. It chiefly aims to strengthen relations and discuss the latest regional and international developments and issues of common interest.

Several areas and aspects of common interest will be discussed during this visit, reported the Oman News Agency.

What will be tackled serves the interests of the two countries and works to achieve the aspirations and hopes of the Omani and Saudi peoples for a more prosperous and developing future.

On the sidelines of the visit, Saudi Arabia and Oman signed 13 memoranda of understanding (MoUs) in different sectors.

The deals were signed by firms owned by Oman Investment Authority (OIA)
