Embassy of India, Muscat wishes you and your family, Eid Mubarak!

أجريتُ محادثةً مثمرةً مع أخي حضرة صاحب الجلالة السلطان هيثم بن طارق، ونقلتُ تحياتي المسبقة بمناسبة عيد الفطر المبارك إلى شعب سلطنة عُمان. واتفقنا على ضرورة إعطاء الأولوية للحوار والدبلوماسية من أجل خفض التصعيد، والعمل لاحقًا على استعادة السلام والاستقرار. وأكدتُ مجددًا إدانة الهند لانتهاك سيادة سلطنة عُمان ووحدة أراضيها، مع تقديرنا لجهودها في تسهيل العودة الآمنة لآلاف الأشخاص، بمن فيهم المواطنون الهنود. كما تؤكد الهند وسلطنة عُمان على أهمية ضمان حرية وسلامة الملاحة عبر مضيق هرمز

Had a productive conversation with my brother Sultan Haitham bin Tariq and conveyed advance Eid greetings to the people of Oman. We agreed on the need to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy for de-escalation and subsequent restoration of peace and stability. Reiterated India’s condemnation of the violation of Oman’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and appreciated Oman’s efforts to facilitate the safe return of thousands of people, including Indian nationals. India and Oman stand for safe and free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
