Ono said he looked forward to cooperating on the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. “The great thing about Oman is that it has both old traditions and new possibilities. Japan also regards both as a virtue.”

“Omanis are very interested in the Japanese language and culture, and thus we are trying to give them opportunities to learn about Japan in Oman. We want to increase the number of Omani students studying in Japan and from Japan to Oman. Want to accept students as well.Oman also has plans to attract foreign investors.
Ambassador Al-Busaydi and Governor Ono exchanged souvenirs to mark the occasion, frankincense from Oman where the highest grade in the world is grown, and Sayama green tea that is a specialty of the Saitama region.
