Pakistan-Oman bilateral relations and security cooperation

Overview

Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi arrived in Islamabad for a two-day official visit to co-chair the eighth session of the Pakistan-Oman Joint Ministerial Commission (JMC). The visit aimed to review bilateral relations and strengthen cooperation across various sectors amid regional tensions in the Middle East.

Following the commission meeting, officials from both nations agreed to boost cooperation in trade, investment, energy, agriculture, and human resources. Plans were announced to establish joint working groups to promote economic ties and employment for Pakistani professionals.

Regarding regional security, both parties emphasized the need for safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb strait. During the proceedings, Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar condemned Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, noting casualties among Pakistani nationals, while both officials called for diplomacy and restraint to maintain regional stability.

Diplomatic efforts to address regional instability expanded on October 18, 2026, through consultations involving Egypt. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held telephone discussions with his counterparts in Pakistan and Oman to discuss de-escalation. In talks with Ishaq Dar, Abdelatty highlighted the importance of the Quad Regional Mechanism—consisting of Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia—to foster security. Both ministers advocated for the resumption of diplomatic negotiations between the United States and Iran. These discussions follow the stalled implementation of the ‘Islamabad Memorandum’ signed in June 2026, which intended to halt military operations and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
