Calling mutual relations between Iran and Oman as “deep and sustainable” in different levels, Larijani said the age-old, profound and friendly ties and great capacities in different fields will pave way for the further expansion of cooperation, so both sides should pay special attention in this concern.

He also referred to the current situation in the region, and underlined that Iran and Oman’s relations have always been effective in direction of reduction of problems and disputes in the region.
