AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Royal Diplomacy: Sultan Haitham has begun state visits to China and Brunei, with Oman seeking to deepen strategic ties and expand cooperation in trade, investment, energy and technology. Hormuz Security: Oman’s navy rescued 25 crew members from a burning vessel attacked off Musandam, while the Royal Air Force evacuated an injured sailor to Muscat. The incidents came amid disputed reports of tanker mine strikes and rising concern over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Regional Tensions: Qatar is mediating fresh Iran-US contacts, but Tehran says it is not ready for direct talks and has warned of retaliation if attacked. Oman has also pressed for a regional security pact between Gulf states and Iran. Investment: Invest Oman reported OMR3.09 billion in localised projects, as the government advances efforts to attract investment and diversify the economy.
