Dear Foreign Minister Böhm Stahlmann34 ,
It is with great honour that I open official diplomatic communications between our two governments. I would like to take this opportunity to further our diplomatic relations and explore areas of establishing additional foundations and routes of greater economic cooperation.
Omani-German relations have steadily grown since diplomatic relations were established in 1972. Whilst Germany has grown to become one of our largest economic partners outside of the oil industry, our bilateral relations and cooperation have generally remained limited and ad-hoc.
I believe our countries' relationship can continue and develop much further going into the 21st Century.
I would like to inform you that as part of the re-invigoration of our diplomatic relations, we would be assigning Ambassador Maitha Saif Almahrouqi to serve as our representative in Berlin.
With the absenteeism and lack of internationally active governments in our region, we aspire for Oman to become the vanguard and gateway to the Middle-East and Arab World, an aspiration that will certainly benefit Germany. To facilitate this, we would like to open formal discussions between Oman and Germany in order to progress our cross-border partnerships and integration in numerous areas, including science and technology, education, trade, law enforcement, immigration, energy and national security.
We look forward to hearing your reply and your ambitions for Omani-German relations.
Yours Sincerely,
Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Al Busaidi
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Sultanate of Oman
