President Sheikh Mohamed has sent a message of congratulations to Oman’s Sultan Haitham on the country’s 54th National Day.
“On the occasion of Omani National Day, I extend my sincere congratulations to my brother Sultan Haitham bin Tariq and the people of Oman,” Sheikh Mohamed wrote on X. “The UAE and Oman share an enduring partnership and aspirations for development, and we look forward to continuing to work together with determination to foster progress and prosperity for our nations and region.”
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, also shared his well-wishes. “We congratulate the brotherly Omani people and my brother Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, may God protect him, on their glorious National Day and the anniversary of their blessed renaissance,” Sheikh Mohammed wrote on X.
Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court, also shared his congratulations, writing: "The UAE and Oman are linked by solid historical relations that embody the highest meanings of brotherhood and good neighbourliness."
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, wrote on X: "We congratulate our brothers in the Sultanate of Oman, leadership, government and people, on their 54th National Day and the anniversary of the blessed renaissance march led today by His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, may God protect him. The UAE and Oman are bound by strong fraternal relations, a shared history, and a bright future... We ask God to perpetuate our brotherhood, and to grant its good people success in all that is good, for the glory and honour of their beloved country."
Dr Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to the President, said: "A few days ago, I was visiting the sisterly sultanate of Oman and its shining capital, Muscat. With every visit over the years, I follow with admiration and appreciation the extent of progress and development that the sultanate is achieving in various fields. On the occasion of the National Day, I wish Oman, its leadership and people, more prosperity and excellence."
Last week, Sultan Haitham officially declared that November 20 to 21 will mark Oman’s 54th National Day. The holiday will apply to employees across the public and private sector.
In April, Sheikh Mohamed held high-level talks with Sultan Haitham in Abu Dhabi, where the two nations struck deals to bolster ties in key sectors such as renewable energy, technology and rail infrastructure. The two leaders witnessed several agreements aimed at further strengthening relations between the Gulf neighbours as part of Sultan Haitham's state visit. The deals also covered investment, sustainability and education.
