MUSCAT: His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik will go on a state visit to the Kingdom of Belgium on Monday.
A statement issued by the Diwan of Royal Court to this effect reads: "In response to an invitation received by His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik from King Philippe Leopold Louis Marie, King of the Belgians, His Majesty the Sultan will go on a state visit to the Kingdom of Belgium with effect from Monday (December 2). The visit comes within the context of promoting relations between the Sultanate of Oman and the Kingdom of Belgium in a manner that meets the aspirations of the two countries."
The Sultanate of Oman and the Kingdom of Belgium look forward to strengthening bilateral relations and pushing them to wider horizons in the areas of trade, investment, and cultural cooperation to serve the interests of the two countries and meet their peoples' aspirations.
His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik’s state visit to Belgium and his meeting with King Philippe Leopold Louis Marie of the Belgians will back the two countries' endeavours in enhancing areas of cooperation.
The leaders and officials of the two countries continued to exchange visits, as King Philippe visited Oman in February 2022. The visit culminated in the opening of the Duqm Port project, a joint venture between the Government of the Sultanate of Oman and the management of the Belgian Port of Antwerp. In this context, the Hyport Duqm green hydrogen project, a joint venture between OQ Group and the Belgian Deme Group, seeks to establish an international alliance to produce and import green hydrogen for Belgium and its neighbouring countries and implement green certification standards for the electricity grid.
