Assigned by His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik, Sayyid Badr bin Hamad al Busaidy, Foreign Minister, will head the Sultanate of Oman's delegation at the extraordinary Arab Summit, scheduled to be held in the Egyptian capital Cairo on Tuesday.
He will be accompanied by an official delegation including Shaikh Khalifa bin Ali al Harthy, Under-Secretary of the Foreign Ministry for Political Affairs, Abdullah bin Nasser al Rahbi, Ambassador of the Sultanate of Oman to the Arab Republic of Egypt and its Permanent Representative to the League of Arab States, Ambassador Shaikh Faisal bin Omar al Marhoon, Head of the Arab Department, and a number of officials at the Foreign Ministry.
Earlier, the Sultanate of Oman affirmed its firm position calling for achieving a just and comprehensive peace for the Palestinian people, respecting their legitimate rights to establish their independent state on their land, and its firm and decisive position against any attempts to displace the residents of the Gaza Strip and the occupied Palestinian territories.
Abdullah bin Nasser al Rahbi told Oman News Agency that the Sultanate of Oman believes that the Palestinian cause is not just an Arab cause, but rather a just humanitarian cause linked to the principles of international law and international legitimacy. Based on this firm position, it has affirmed in all international and regional forums its full support for the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, most notably their right to establish their independent state on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with United Nations resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
He added that the Sultanate of Oman has always called for the necessity of respecting international legitimacy resolutions as the legal framework that guarantees the achievement of just and comprehensive peace, stressing its categorical rejection of all policies that aim to impose a new reality on the Palestinian territories, whether through settlement, siege or forced displacement, as these practices only lead to further escalation, exacerbate the suffering of the Palestinian people, and threaten security and stability in the region. - ONA
