Chinese President Xi Jinping met Oman’s Sultan Haitham bin Tariq in Beijing on Monday during a two-day state visit, according to a Reuters dispatch carried by Al-Monitor and Arab News1.
Reuters said Xi described closer China-Oman relations as a shared strategic choice and said the partnership was at a new historical starting point, citing a media pool covering the meeting1.
The same report said Haitham arrived in Beijing on Sunday and that the trip was the first by an Omani head of state since the two countries established diplomatic relations in 19781.
Al-Monitor and Arab News republished the Reuters item; the Reuters website itself was not readable in this review1. Independent accounts of any agreements signed, Oman’s public remarks, or a joint statement were not in the wire copy reviewed1.
