Sultanate of Oman Opens Embassy in Budapest
- 6 Nov 2024 6:18 AM
On behalf of Oman, the event was attended by Foreign Ministry Undersecretary for Administrative and Financial Affairs Khalid bin Hashel bin Mohammed Al-Muslahi and Ambassador Malallah Mahmood Shaban Al Balushi.
Magyar said the embassy's opening marked a new chapter in the history of the two countries. Strengthening links with the Middle East is a basic pillar of the Hungarian government's foreign policy and economic strategy, he added.
The large number of ambassadors from Middle Eastern countries attending the event "is a testament to this", he said.
He praised Oman's intermediary role in resolving regional conflicts, adding that Oman was among the first countries to call for peace talks aimed at resolving the Yemeni conflict and guaranteeing the security and freedom of Red Sea shipping.
The state secretary said that Hungary continued to support the personal ties developed with Oman in recent years, primarily under the arrangements of the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship scheme.
Also, talks on launching direct flights between the two countries' capitals and main cities are under way, he noted.
