Commemorative postage stamp inaugurated between Oman and Iran
Muscat: Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, Foreign Minister and Dr. Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, jointly inaugurated a commemorative postage stamp symbolising the profound cultural and historical ties between Oman and Iran, as well as their shared commitment to the principles of good neighbourliness, cooperation, constructive engagement, and civilizational exchange between their peoples. The ceremony took place at Al Alam Palace in Muscat, coinciding with the official visit of President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Sultanate of Oman. Sayyid Nasr bin Badr Al Busaidi, Postmaster at Oman Post, stated that this stamp embodies the deep-rooted cultural and historical connections between the Sultanate of Oman and the Islamic Republic of Iran, reflecting their mutual dedication to strengthening cultural diplomacy, fostering neighbourly relations, and promoting people-to-people ties. The stamp's artistic design harmoniously blends the architectural and cultural symbols of both nations. At its centre stands the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat—an iconic landmark of Omani Islamic architecture—framed by date palms, which symbolize resilience and Oman's rich agricultural heritage, forming an integral part of the country's environmental and social identity. On the opposite side, the stamp features the historic Jameh Mosque of Bastak in southern Iran, encircled by cypress trees—a symbol of eternity and Persian visual culture—representing continuity and civilizational endurance. At the heart of the design lies a handwoven Persian carpet, inspired by the one housed in the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat, which was meticulously crafted in Iran's Khorasan province and adorned with intricate floral motifs. This serves as a testament to the artisanal collaboration between the two nations and a symbol of their diverse cultural connections. Through this joint artistic endeavour, both countries reaffirm their commitment to enhancing cooperation in postal services, paving the way for broader partnerships that promise mutual benefits. -ONA
