In a recent phone conversation, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Oman’s Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said focused on strengthening bilateral relations and addressing significant regional issues. Erdoğan highlighted the risks of any renewed conflict in the region, emphasizing that escalation would not serve anyone’s interests. He underscored the necessity of supporting diplomatic initiatives aimed at preserving peace and stability.
Erdoğan assured Sultan Haitham that Türkiye remains committed to collaborating with regional partners to foster enduring peace and alleviate tensions in the Middle East. He reaffirmed Türkiye’s dedication to backing peace and stability within the Palestinian territories. Erdoğan also pledged to consistently champion the rights of the Palestinian people on international platforms.
The dialogue between the two leaders included an exchange of Eid Al-Adha greetings, with Erdoğan conveying his best wishes to Sultan Haitham in anticipation of the Islamic holiday. This gesture reflects the growing political and economic cooperation between Türkiye and Oman over recent years.
Relations between the two nations have seen considerable strengthening, marked notably by Sultan Haitham’s first official visit to Türkiye in 2024. This visit represented a significant milestone in enhancing bilateral connections, with both countries continuing to work together on regional challenges and supporting diplomatic resolutions.
