Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is reportedly planning to pay an official visit to Oman within the coming weeks to further strengthen bilateral relations.
Planning for the visit has been underway since Oman’s ruler Sultan Qaboos nominated his cousin Sayyid Asad bin Tariq Al Said on March 2 as the deputy prime minister in charge of international affairs, The Hindu newspaper said.
Citing sources, the newspaper said that the nomination of Sayyid Asad had given a clear signal that he was the most likely successor to Sultan Qaboos.
