Oman’s foreign minister will travel to Iran on Tuesday, Iran’s foreign ministry said, as Tehran and Muscat seek a way to regulate the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, AFP reports.
Badr al-Busaidi will hold the “ongoing political consultations between the two sides, as two littoral states of the Strait of Hormuz, to help strengthen peace and security in the region,” Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said in a statement.
“The visit is aimed at strengthening Iran-Oman bilateral cooperation and al-Busaidi will meet with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to discuss bilateral and regional issues,” Baqaei added.
