“Pakistan attaches immense importance to its fraternal relations with Oman. The bilateral relations are historical and deep-rooted and based on commonalities of faith, culture and traditions. The geographical proximity can offer a great scope to step up the bilateral relationship between the two countries,” he said.

The ambassador said that Pakistani expatriates in Oman “are playing an important role in driving the country’s economy”. He added that Oman would encourage skilled human resource from Pakistan in diverse sectors.
