Dr Al Mantheri termed his visit to the Czech Republic in April last a success and said that he was optimistic that the present visit would build on the development in relations and contribute to the expansion of areas of cooperation. He added that the results of the visit were promising and this was evident from the signing of a number of agreements in the areas of tax exemption, promotion and protection of investment and air transport.


The two sides highlighted the desire to activate the memorandum of understanding signed to develop cooperation between them and to realise the aspirations of Omani and Czech businesspersons to hold joint exhibitions to promote investment opportunities and incentives for investors in both countries.


Jaroslav Kubera expressed his conviction that bilateral cooperation can be extended to include economic, trade, scientific, health, renewable energy and the environment, in addition to parliamentary cooperation.


He stressed the importance of opening the embassy of his country in the Sultanate and hoped it would help consolidate bilateral relations. Jaroslav Kubera hailed the role of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos in preserving regional security and stability through his exemplary vision. Present at the talks from the Omani side were the Vice Chairmen, the Council Secretary-General and several Council members. The Czech delegation included Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Czech Republic.
