Relationship between sultanates bloom over the years

Relationship between the sultanates of Brunei Darussalam and Oman dates back to ancient history of merchants sailing the high seas from the Gulf of Oman to China, through the ports of prosperous Islamic Brunei Sultanate.

Oman was among the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with Brunei and opened its embassy in Bandar Seri Begawan, immediately after her independence in 1984.

Oman attaches great importance to its bilateral relations with Brunei.

Mutual understanding and friendship between His Majesty Sultan Qaboos and His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam have always solidified relations between the two countries.

By virtue of their common membership of UN, NAM and OIC, and both as developing countries with traditional and cultural ties, Brunei and Oman enjoy a fair degree of commonality in their perceptions on major international issues.

Development of the bilateral relations has been marked, among others, by the setting up of a joint committee for annual bilateral consultations between the two countries.

Added to that was the signing of several agreements on mutual understanding and cooperation in various fields.

The latest among these agreements was the MOU between the Ministry of Higher Education, the Sultanate of Oman and the Ministry of Education, Brunei Darussalam, on cooperation in training and education.

There have also been a number of exchanges of visits at the ministerial-level between Oman and Brunei.

These exchanges intensified and extended the dimensions of Oman's bilateral relationship with Brunei.
