In a press
conference on Tuesday celebrating Oman’s National Day, the Ambassador said His
Majesty King Abdullah’s recent visit to Oman, his first since Sultan Haitham
bin Tariq ascended to the throne, featured important discussions on cooperation
in matters of mutual interest.
Maamari praised
the 12,000 Jordanian expatriates in Oman for their contributions to the
country’s development, noting that 3,500 Omanis are studying in Jordanian
universities.
He emphasized the
importance of tapping into available resources in both countries, particularly
in the mining sector, and said that current trade exchange was “below
aspirations”.

large number of Omanis travel to Jordan for medical treatment due to the
country’s reputable health care system, reaffirming continuous coordination on
various issues of mutual interest.
