Armenia to open resident embassy in Oman 

ArmInfo. Armenia will open a resident embassy in the Sultanate of Oman. The corresponding decision was made on April 10 at a meeting of the Armenian government.

The project developed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia  envisages the establishment of an embassy of the Republic of Armenia  in the Sultanate of Oman with a residence in Muscat.

The rationale for the project states that relations between the  Republic of Armenia and the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf have  been developing dynamically in recent years. There is activity in  terms of political dialogue, trade and economic cooperation, as well  as ties in the educational, cultural and humanitarian spheres

, the document says.

It is noted that the opening of the embassy of the Republic of  Armenia in the Sultanate of Oman will contribute to strengthening the  warm political dialogue, trade and economic ties between Armenia and  Oman, increasing tourist flows, mutual trade turnover, including  transit. This will also contribute to the growth of mutual  recognition between the citizens and societies of the two countries  and will become an impetus for strengthening ties between Armenia and  a number of countries in East Africa and the Indian Ocean, based on  the historical and cultural ties of these countries with Oman.
