HH Sayyid Asa’ad bin Tarik al-Said, Deputy Prime Minister for International Relations and Cooperation Affairs, Personal Representative of His Majesty the Sultan, has said that
The Sultanate of Oman’s achievements over the past 50 years were the result of a comprehensive development strategy that was carried out in a number of stages and in line with exhaustive plans and studies, the most prominent of which is Oman Vision 2040, supervised by His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik, according to HH Sayyid Asa’ad bin Tarik al-Said, Deputy Prime Minister for International Relations and Cooperation Affairs, Personal Representative of His Majesty the Sultan.
Asa’ad said that the Sultanate is pressing ahead with its renewed renaissance under the wise leadership of His Majesty the Sultan and in pursuance of that Vision which promises of stability and growth and, in particular, accords attention to innovation and research and its outcomes. He added that the future dictates economic diversification to enhance the State’s revenues and back the sustainable development process.
Asa’ad described the blessed Omani Renaissance march, which keeps making progress in full confidence during the reign of His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik, and what had been achieved during the reign of the late His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said as “a lighthouse of accomplishments”. He stressed that the Omani Renaissance is based on principles of equality, justice, peace, tolerance, dialogue and fraternity with all.
The Deputy Prime Minister also spoke about the role of Omani civilisation in human heritage, testimony to which are Omani archaeological sites, manuscripts and arts listed in Global Heritage such as the relics of civilisations of Majan and Mazoon, which relate to the civilisation of the whole of mankind.
He also touched on the interest of Omanis in rearing thoroughbred camels which take centre stage in many official and annual festivals and are accorded special facilities like Al Fulaij and Al Bashayer Arabian camel racing ranges.
