Muscat: Acting on the high directives of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik, His Excellency Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, Oman’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, addressed the global community through an official message published on the United Nations’ official platforms.

HE Sayyid Badr began by conveying the Sultan’s warm greetings and best wishes to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, lauding his leadership and efforts in addressing global challenges.

Reaffirming Oman’s deep-rooted commitment to multilateralism, the minister emphasized the vital role of the United Nations as a cornerstone of international cooperation, conflict resolution, and the promotion of human dignity.
