Al-Busaidi noted tangible progress across multiple sectors, pointing to growing economic integration, increased intra-trade and joint investments, and deeper cooperation in security, judicial, cultural, and tourism fields. He also emphasized sustained political coordination on regional and global issues.
The meeting reaffirmed both sides’ intent to translate strategic alignment into practical results for mutual prosperity.
