Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday said there was a considerable scope between Pakistan and Oman to enhance co-operation in trade and commerce as well as in investment and other economic sectors. He was talking to Yousuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah, Foreign Minister of Oman who called on him at PM House Islamabad. Welcoming the Omani Foreign Minister, the Prime Minister stated, "Pakistan attaches immense importance to its fraternal relations with Oman."
He said, "Under the leadership of Sultan Qaboos, Oman has been consistently making progress on all fronts. The Prime Minister appreciated the special importance attached to relations with Pakistan by the Sultan Qaboos. "Regular political dialogue between the two countries at Foreign Ministers' level will provide the forum for a comprehensive exchange of views on all areas of political, strategic and economic interests between Pakistan and Oman," added the PM.
Appreciating Oman's keen interest in creating closer linkages between Pakistani and Omani sea ports, the Prime Minister said, "The possibility of launching government-to-government and commercial Ferry Service between Pakistan and Oman would open an entirely new sector to enhance connectivity, people to people contacts and Pakistan-Oman bilateral trade." "We are also grateful to the Omani Government for taking good care of Pakistanis serving in Oman and especially those employed in Royal Omani Armed Forces," he said. Yousuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah thanked the PM for the warm welcome extended to him and his delegation, during the visit to Pakistan. The Foreign Minister appreciated the leadership of the PM which has put Pakistan on the path of socio-economic development, economic stability and developing the country's infrastructure on modern lines.
