Your Majesty,

Delegates from both countries,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to India.

Today is a historic day in the relations between India and Oman.

Today after 26 years, the Sultan of Oman has come to India on a state visit.

And I along with 140 crore Indians have got the opportunity to welcome you.

On behalf of all the countrymen, I heartily congratulate you.

Friends,

India and Oman have had unbreakable bond of deep friendship for centuries.

At one end of the Arabian Sea is India and at the other end is Oman.

Our mutual closeness is not limited to geography, but is also reflected in our trade spanning thousands of years, our culture, and our common priorities.

On the strength of this glorious history, we are building a bright future ahead.

Today we are adopting a new ‘India-Oman Joint Vision – A Partnership for Future’.

In this Joint Vision, concrete action-points have been agreed upon on 10 different areas.

I am confident that this joint vision will give a new and modern shape to our partnership.

I am glad that discussions on CEPA agreement are ongoing between the two sides.

Two rounds of these talks have been successfully completed in which consensus has been reached on many important issues.

I hope that we will be able to sign this agreement soon, which will add a new chapter to our economic cooperation.

Even at the global level, India and Oman have been moving forward in close coordination.

Oman, as a guest country has made a very valuable contribution to the success of India's G20 presidency.

A large number of people of Indian origin consider Oman as their second home.

These people are live examples of our close ties and our friendship.

I personally express my gratitude to His Majesty Sultan Haitham for their welfare.

I am confident that today's meeting will further strengthen our multidimensional cooperation in every field.

Your Majesty,

Once again you are welcome to India.

Last month, Oman qualified for the 2024 T-20 cricket world cup. I congratulate you for this and wish you all the best.

Now I invite you for your opening remarks.
