Sultan's Kazakhstan visit Business opportunities eyed

Oct 5

The bulletin reports the Sultan's morning departure from the Royal Airport for Kazakhstan with his official delegation, then turns to Ahmed bin Hafidh Al Amri live in Astana. He discusses the arrival, diplomatic relations since 1992 and expected cooperation in food security, logistics, investment, tourism, finance and digital technology. Oman Chamber chairman Faisal bin Abdullah Al Rawas explains private-sector opportunities in food, energy, mining, tourism and digital business, with a business forum and proposed business council expected the next day. These are an outlook and proposed cooperation; the passage does not establish that the forthcoming memoranda have been signed.

Sultan Haitham bin Tariq begins a two-day Kazakhstan state visit on October 5, departing Muscat and arriving in Astana, where President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev welcomes him. Oman TV describes the airport reception, delegation and ceremonial greetings. Its live Astana correspondent and Oman Chamber chairman discuss anticipated leadership talks, memoranda, a business forum and private-sector opportunities. Those next-day activities remain an outlook, not completed agreements.
