Addressing regional instability, the Iranian president underscored that establishing stability is a shared responsibility among Islamic nations. “We have always emphasized that regional peace and security should be achieved by the countries of the region themselves,” he said.

 

During his meeting with Foreign Minister Busaidi, Pezeshkian also called for continued and strengthened bilateral relations, regional and international cooperation, and the facilitation of economic exchanges and commercial partnerships.

 

Welcoming Pezeshkian’s visit, Deputy Prime Minister Al Said described it as an effective step toward expanding bilateral ties. He highlighted the longstanding, brotherly relations between Oman and Iran as a model of constructive engagement between neighboring nations.

 

Al Said praised the Iranian people as “a great nation” and affirmed Oman’s belief in the benefits of dialogue and cooperation with the Islamic Republic.

 

Masoud Pezeshkian, concluding his official visit to Oman, toured the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. He expressed his gratitude in the mosque’s guestbook for the warm hospitality of the Omani government and people.

 

He noted: “I traveled to the Sultanate of Oman at the gracious invitation of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said. In the heart of Oman’s beautiful capital stands a magnificent mosque with a vast dome and tall minarets, shining like a brilliant jewel.

 

The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque is not just a place of worship but a manifestation of Islamic art and a symbol of Omani identity. This architectural masterpiece embodies cultural dialogue and offers an atmosphere filled with tranquility and beauty.”
