On behalf of the United States of America, I extend warm congratulations to His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik and to the people of the Sultanate of Oman on the occasion of your National Day.
The United States is proud to celebrate more than two centuries of friendship with Oman - one rooted in mutual respect and shared interests. As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of our independence in 2026, we reflect with appreciation on Oman's enduring role as a bridge of dialogue, stability, and mutual respect in the region.
This year, our partnership has grown across key areas - from advancing regional peace and maritime security to expanding trade, investment, and educational exchange. The United States remains deeply committed to strengthening these bonds and creating new opportunities that benefit both our countries. We look forward to building on this progress at our upcoming Strategic Dialogue next year.
We send our best wishes for a joyous National Day and continued prosperity for the Sultanate of Oman.
