New Delhi - The participation of the Sultanate of Oman as a guest of honor in the 18th G20 summit contributes to strengthening and developing close relations with the member states of the group and pushing them towards broader areas, especially in the fields of tourism, health, agriculture, alternative energy, education, and digital transformation.
Pankaj Khimji, Advisor to the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion (MOCIIP) for Foreign Trade and International Cooperation - the main coordinator of the Sultanate of Oman’s participation in the G20 meetings - said that this important participation in the summit meetings, hosted by the Republic of India, provides the Sultanate of Oman with the opportunity to learn about the mechanisms of global decision-making in the political, economic, financial and other fields through direct contact with decision-makers in developed countries, besides learning ways to achieve sustainable development goals.
He said that the Sultanate of Oman seeks to activate communication channels on the topics and objectives included in Vision 2040 and added that participation in the summit meetings helps in its quest to shift towards alternative energy, as the event provides the opportunity to communicate with major consumers and producers in this field.
