Morocco, Oman Underscore Determination to Promote Cooperation in Different Fields
The Kingdom of Morocco and the Sultanate of Oman highlighted, on Sunday in Muscat, their determination to promote and bolster cooperation in different fields.
This declaration was made during the 7th Moroccan-Omani Joint Commission, held in Muscat and co-chaired by Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Mr. Nasser Bourita, and Oman's Foreign Minister, Badr Bin Hamad Bin Hamoud Al Busaidi.
On this occasion, MFA Bourita hailed the depth of the distinguished ties between the two countries and the two brotherly peoples, which draw their strength from the close ties between His Majesty King Mohammed VI and His brother His Majesty Sultan Haitham Ben Tariq, may God preserve Them.
The minister reaffirmed the Kingdom's determination to breathe new life into these ties at all levels and in different fields, in a 'win-win' approach that will make them more deeply rooted and lasting.
MFA Bourita also welcomed the regularity with which Joint Commission sessions have been held in recent years, as a clear expression of the two countries' sincere will to consolidate the tradition of ongoing consultation, cooperation and coordination, and to raise their brotherly relations to a level commensurate with the aspirations of the two Heads of State.
He also invited Omani businessmen to open up more to their second country, Morocco, in order to benefit from the incentives offered by the Kingdom's Investment Charter, as well as from investment opportunities linked to Morocco's organization of the 2030 World Cup, stressing the importance of forging solid relations between the two countries' private sectors, through the activation of the Moroccan-Omani Business Council.
For his part, Badr Bin Hamad Ben Hamoud Al Busaidi expressed his pride in the distinguished level of relations between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Sultanate of Oman, reaffirming his country's willingness to examine every means of strengthening and developing them to serve the interests of both parties and the aspirations of the two brotherly peoples.
Talks between the two ministers provided an opportunity to assess bilateral cooperation, examine ways of promoting it, and exchange views on Arab, regional and international issues of common interest, underlining with satisfaction, in this respect, the convergence of their positions.

The Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA) has put together a special plan for the upcoming Eid Al Adha holiday. This initiative is aimed at making sure travellers can enjoy comfortable and safe transportation as they celebrate the Eid. With an increase in people wanting to travel during this festive time, the SRTA is stepping up its services to ensure everyone can move smoothly between different areas in Sharjah and beyond. Engineer Yousef Khamis Al Othmani, the head of the SRTA, highlighted the importance of being well-prepared during holidays. He noted that during the Eid holiday in 2025, which runs from June 5 to 8, there will be a noticeable rise in public transport users. To handle this, the SRTA has made plans to operate 180 buses on various routes, aiming to complete around 5,600 trips over the four days. During peak times, buses will come every 5 minutes instead of the usual 45-minute wait. This means shorter waiting times and more convenience for everyone traveling. The authority is committed to making travel easy for people visiting family or exploring popular destinations, both within the emirate and outside it. They are also increasing staff at busy bus stations, especially the Jubail Bus Station, which will be open from early morning until late at night to accommodate the larger number of passengers expected during this busy holiday. The Authority has improved bus services in Sharjah City for the Eid holiday, making travel easier for everyone. They are running a total of 1,144 bus trips each day across 12 different routes, using 104 buses that connect to 543 stops around the city. During the Eid Al Adha holiday, there will be a special boat service operating between Sharjah and Dubai. Abdul Aziz Al Jarwan, who is in charge of transport at the local authority, announced that there will be four daily trips. These boats will leave from the Aquarium Station in Sharjah and arrive at Al Ghubaiba Station in Dubai, working together with Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority. Al Jarwan shared that the Authority is working closely with the Omani transport company, Mwasalat, to run international route 203. This route connects Sharjah with Muscat, the capital of Oman, and offers two flights each day. This service is expected to encourage tourism between the two countries, especially during the Eid holidays. Passengers can board at Jubail station and travel to Al Athaiba station, making stops along the way. Tickets can be purchased online through Mwasalat Oman's website or at their service points. WAM
