His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik will pay a state-visit to the Republic of Kazakhstan, starting from today.
This was stated in a statement by the Diwan of Royal Court, reading as follows: “In consolidation of the bonds of friendship between the Sultanate of Oman and the Republic of Kazakhstan, and in response to the gracious invitation extended to His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev of the Republic of Kazakhstan, His Majesty the Sultan will pay a state-visit to the Republic of Kazakhstan, during October 5-6.
"The visit will explore all aspects of cooperation that would elevate bilateral relations to the levels that fulfil the desired objectives across all fields, culminating in outcomes that serve the common interests of both countries.
Meanwhile, preparations are under way in the Kazakh capital, Astana, ahead of the state visit to be undertaken by His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik to the Republic of Kazakhstan on Monday. The national flags of the Sultanate of Oman and the Republic of Kazakhstan have been raised along the main roads and at several locations near the Independence Palace.
A number of Kazakh media institutions covered the state visit that His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik will undertake to Kazakhstan and his meeting with President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
Kazakh media addressed this new milestone in a bilateral relationship spanning more than three decades, as well as the mutual engagement and interest between the two friendly countries in leveraging their potential and translating it into partnerships across multiple fields, particularly economic and commercial.
The media highlighted areas of economic cooperation between the two countries and the signing of an investment cooperation agreement last April. It noted the existence of a joint investment portfolio comprising five major projects valued at approximately $3 billion. It emphasised the strategic location of Omani ports, explaining that Kazakhstan views these ports as one of the routes to access the markets of the Gulf region and the Indian Ocean, reflecting the importance of the logistical dimension in bilateral relations.
