A number of high-ranking Iranian officials, including Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Ali Jannati and several lawmakers as well as ambassadors of different countries, participated in the event.
The celebration was hosted by Salim bin Mussallam al Masan, the deputy head of Oman’s diplomatic mission Iran.
Oman’s National Day is celebrated every year on November 18, which marks the country’s independence from the Portuguese in 1650. The day coincides with the birthday of Oman’s Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said.
On November 18, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani congratulated the Omani king on the occasion of the Sultanate’s 43rd National Day.
In his message, Rouhani expressed hope that relations between the two countries would expand in all areas. He also wished success and prosperity for the Omani nation.
Meanwhile, an Iranian press delegation recently visited Oman and held talks with senior officials of the country, namely Omani King’s Cultural Advisor Abdulaziz Al-Rowas and Minister of Information Abdulmun’em bin Mansoor al-Hassani.
