MUSCAT: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said his visit to Oman and talks with the oil-rich Gulf nation’s top leadership will impart a “substantial momentum” to all spheres of their bilateral strategic ties.
“This Oman visit is one I will cherish for a long time to come,” Modi tweeted before concluding his two-day visit to Oman during which the two countries signed eight agreements, including one on enhancing defence cooperation.
“This visit has helped in building upon the centuries-old ties between our enterprising people, and will impart a substantial momentum to our relations in all spheres, including trade and investment relations,” Modi said.
“Thank you Your Majesty Sultan Qaboos (bin Said al Said) for your exceptional warmth, hospitality and friendship, as also your personal attention to details, that made my visit to Oman one of the most memorable visits I have undertaken anywhere, the Prime Minister said.
