Sayyid Badr explained that the two Ministers exchanged views on a number of regional and international issues. Foremost among these was the Palestinian cause. He underlined the need for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance and support for a political process aimed at achieving a just and lasting peace.

For his part, Hakan Fidan praised the strength of Turkish Omani relations. He welcomed the constructive role played by Oman in supporting dialogue and bringing viewpoints closer together. He affirmed his country’s keenness to continue strengthening bilateral cooperation and joint coordination in ways that contribute to supporting security and stability in the region.
