Jeddah | BETH

Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman met today, Tuesday, in Jeddah with Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman.

During the meeting, the two sides reviewed the fraternal relations between the two countries, areas of bilateral cooperation, and promising opportunities to strengthen and develop them across various fields. They also discussed developments in the region and ongoing efforts to preserve its security and stability.

Sultan Haitham bin Tariq arrived in Jeddah today, where the Crown Prince was at the forefront of those receiving him at King Abdulaziz International Airport.

The meeting was attended by a number of ministers and senior officials from both sides, including ministers responsible for energy, foreign affairs, commerce, tourism, transport, and investment, as well as defense, security, investment, and energy officials from the Omani side.

Reading

The visit carries two parallel dimensions: political coordination at a sensitive regional moment, and an expansion of the economic track between the two countries.

The composition of the two delegations, particularly the presence of ministers responsible for energy, investment, transport, and commerce, indicates that the meeting was not solely political, but also linked to practical opportunities in energy, logistics, investment, and economic integration.

Regionally, the discussion of security and stability gives the visit additional weight. Saudi Arabia and Oman represent two significant Gulf actors with different diplomatic approaches, yet they converge on the priority of reducing tensions and protecting regional stability.

Most importantly, the visit took the form of a direct working engagement: political coordination, opening avenues for cooperation, and linking the economy with regional security.
