This morning, the Prime Minister had a conversation with His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik al Said of Oman. The two leaders discussed the latest developments in the Middle East and shared concerns about the current situation.
Concern over Iran’s Nuclear Programme
A major point of discussion was the growing threat posed by Iran’s nuclear programme. Both the Prime Minister and the Sultan expressed their worry over this issue.
They emphasized the need for Iran to return to negotiations to avoid further escalation in the region. They both agreed that a peaceful and diplomatic solution is necessary to avoid more conflict.
Focus on De-escalation and Ceasefire in Gaza
Another key issue addressed was the ongoing violence in Gaza. The leaders agreed that the situation there is intolerable and that efforts should focus on reaching an immediate ceasefire.
They emphasized that any further escalation of the conflict would not benefit anyone, and the priority should be to prevent more bloodshed and suffering.
Commitment to Stay in Touch
Both leaders also agreed to stay in close contact with each other. They vowed to continue discussing the situation and to collaborate in seeking solutions to the ongoing challenges in the Middle East.
The conversation shows the importance of diplomatic dialogue in addressing critical issues, particularly in a region as volatile as the Middle East.
