The US think tank Atlantic Council commended the developmental approach of His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik, as well as Oman’s permanent keenness to enhance regional and international relations.

This came in a recent report published by Atlantic Council on His Majesty the Sultan’s foreign policy and economic initiatives said that “Haitham’s … leadership of Oman’s latest economic reforms indicate a similar penchant for pragmatic evolution and regional peace”.

The report hailed Oman’s commitment to steady progress and political neutrality, “underpinned by generous domestic infrastructure and human capital investments that drove growth and maintained stability”.

Oman has been deftly cultivating important relationships outside the GCC—particularly with China, India, and Europe, covering cooperation in the fields of energy supplies and technological investments, which helped advance economic rejuvenation in the Sultanate.
