DUBAI: UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan visited Oman on Thursday, meeting with Sultan Haitham bin Tariq to discuss bilateral cooperation, and regional developments, including the recent Israeli attacks on Qatari territory.

The leaders held talks at Qasr Al Hosn in Salalah, and reviewed the growing cooperation across political, economic, social, and cultural fields, emphasizing the shared commitment to further strengthen Gulf integration and support the progress of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

Both leaders condemned the Israeli strikes on Qatar, describing them as a violation of sovereignty, a breach of international law, and a threat to regional stability. They reaffirmed solidarity with Qatar and pledged support for measures taken to protect its security and citizens.

Sheikh Mohamed highlighted the enduring UAE-Oman relationship, tracing its roots to the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al-Nahyan and Sultan Qaboos bin Said, whose efforts laid the foundation for strong ties between the two nations.
