“There is so much to write on India-Oman relations, right from 5000 years old historical linkages, to vibrant people-to-people ties, growing economic relations, close security cooperation and immense opportunities for further expansion in all these areas, that even more than 300 pages were less to do justice to each facet of our relationship.”
— Munu Mahawar, Ambassador of India to the Sultanate of Oman
A special book that chronicles the deep and timeless friendship between India and Oman, ‘Oman-India Ties Across Sea and Space’ was formally released on September 26, 2021.
The book has been published by Oman Daily Observer in collaboration with the Embassy of India, Muscat, to commemorate the 50th National Day of Oman and 75th Year of India’s Independence, which is being celebrated as Amrit Mahotsav.
“The book has been written by Samuel Kutty, Senior Editor of Oman Daily Observer and Sandhya Rao Mehta, Associate Professor in Sultan Qaboos University. It highlights the shared heritage of India & Oman and explores opportunities for enhancing India-Oman bilateral relations in various spheres,” said a release issued by the Indian Embassy in Muscat.
A special event was organised at the Embassy which was graced by Ali bin Khalfan bin Salem Al Jabri, Undersecretary of Information as Chief Guest for formal release of the book.
Ambassador Munu Mahawar in his speech stated: “There is so much to write on India-Oman relations, right from 5000 years old historical linkages, to vibrant people-to-people ties, growing economic relations, close security cooperation and immense opportunities for further expansion in all these areas, that even more than 300 pages were less to do justice to each facet of our relationship.”
