His visit to Muscat coincides with the 70th anniversary of diplomatic ties between India and Oman, as both countries seek to strengthen their strategic partnership across trade, investment, energy, defence, and cultural cooperation.
In a separate message on the India–Oman Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), Shah described the pact as a major milestone, noting that it provides zero-duty access on 98.08 per cent of Oman’s tariff lines, benefiting 99.38 per cent of Indian exports.
In a social media post, PM Modi described, Oman is a land of enduring friendship and deep historical connections with India. He said this visit offers an opportunity to explore new avenues of collaboration and add fresh momentum to the partnership between the two countries.
