The Netherlands: Embassy celebrates National Day

The Sultanate of Oman’s Embassy in the Kingdom of the Netherlands held a reception to mark National Day.

Sheikh Abdullah Alharthy, Oman’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Permanent Representative to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, delivered an address in which he noted that celebrating National Day reflects Oman’s historic journey since the establishment of the Alubsaidi state in 1744, followed by sustained development efforts that strengthened the Sultanate’s regional and international standing. He added that this progress is continuing under the wise leadership of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik.

The reception was attended by Barbara Joziasse, President of the Netherlands Court of Audit; Guusje Korthals Altes, Director of the Middle East and North Africa Department at the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs; a number of officials from the Kingdom of the Netherlands and heads of diplomatic missions of Arab and other states and Omani citizens.
