Oman international economic partnership expansion

Overview

Oman is actively expanding its international economic partnerships through high-level state visits and strategic agreements.

In early September 2026, President Paul Kagame of Rwanda visited Oman to transition diplomatic relations into substantive economic partnerships. The two nations signed several landmark agreements covering visa exemptions for specific passport holders, labor cooperation, political consultations, and the avoidance of double taxation. Collaborative efforts are focused on sectors such as energy, mining, logistics, aviation, healthcare, and technology.

By mid-September 2026, Sultan Haitham bin Tarik of Oman extended these efforts to Africa through visits to Angola and Botswana. In Angola, discussions with President João Lourenço centered on investments exceeding $1.5 billion in sectors including oil, mining, and food security. In Botswana, the Sultan engaged with President Duma Gideon Boko to explore Omani investment in the diamond value chain, specifically regarding sorting and valuation operations.
