Belarusian president, Sultan of Oman in talks in Muscat

MINSK, 15 December (BelTA) –Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko and Sultan of Oman Haitham bin Tariq Al Said are holding talks in Muscat, BelTA learned.

The leaders of the countries are set to discuss the state and prospects for the development of relations, ways of intensifying bilateral cooperation and exchange views on the current international agenda.

It is noteworthy that although the Belarusian president is on a working visit, the entire ceremony almost fully corresponds to the status of an official or state visit. The guards of honor, the national anthems, volleys of artillery guns... All these and other things are a sign of special respect from the host country.

The talks between the leaders are scheduled in an expanded format with the participation of members of the delegations. The leaders are also expected to have a one-on-one meeting later.

Al Alam Palace (Arabic for “Palace of the Banner”) is the official residence of the Sultan of Oman in Muscat. The palace was erected more than 200 years ago as the residence of the ruling Al Said dynasty.
