Oman continues diplomatic push for peaceful resolution in region

STAFF REPORTER MUSCAT, JUNE 20 The Sultanate of Oman continues its intensive diplomatic efforts to encourage the international community to adopt all peaceful means to halt the Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to Oman, the escalation is a blatant violation of international, humanitarian and moral law; and a serious obstruction to dialogue and negotiation efforts aimed at securing a fair US–Iran agreement to prevent nuclear proliferation. In this context, Oman, alongside the Arab Republic of Egypt and several Arab and Islamic countries, issued a joint statement condemning Israeli attacks since June 13. The statement affirmed their rejection of military escalation, called for respect for state sovereignty and urged the peaceful resolution of conflicts. The statement also expressed deep concern over the consequences of continued escalation, calling for an end to hostilities, the removal of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction from the region; and emphasised the need to protect nuclear facilities and resume negotiations as the only viable path to resolving the crisis while upholding the freedom of international navigation. Separately, Oman will participate on Saturday, in an extraordinary meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Islamic countries in Istanbul, headed by Shaikh Khalifa bin Ali al Harthy, Under-Secretary of the Foreign Ministry for Political Affairs, in support of collective diplomatic efforts. REPATRIATION EFFORTS In continuation of the efforts made by the Foreign Ministry to facilitate the repatriation of Omani citizens from the Islamic Republic of Iran, the safe return of 193 Omani nationals from Bandar Abbas Port to Khasab Port has been secured, as part of the third phase of the approved evacuation plan. In a humanitarian cooperation effort, this phase also included the repatriation of 158 nationals of other countries who were able to transit through Oman under the current circumstances. Additionally, 155 Omani citizens and a number of foreign nationals were safely repatriated by air from the Republic of Iraq to the Sultanate of Oman, as part of ongoing coordination with relevant authorities and the Omani Embassy in Baghdad. The Ministry, in cooperation with Oman's diplomatic missions abroad, continues to implement the evacuation plan to ensure the safe and secure return of all Omani citizens to their homeland.
