The Sultan of Oman Haitham bin Tarik and Jordanian King Abdullah II Ibn Al-Hussein held a second round of talks at Al-Alam Palace on Wednesday before the Jordanian monarch concluded his two-day visit to Muscat.

Oman and Jordan signed seven memoranda of understanding (MOUs) and two executive programs in the areas of industries, competition protection, anti-monopoly, mining, labor, historical documentation, document and archive management, information exchange, supervision of the insurance sector, consumer protection, higher education, scientific research, innovation, and cooperation in the tourism sector.

The agreements were signed by Oman’s Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Hamad al-Busaidi and Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi.

At the signing ceremony, al-Busaidi underscored “the pivotal role of the private sector” in forging partnerships in the investment fields in light of promising opportunities in the Sultanate of Oman and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

For his part, Safadi said that the signing of memoranda of understanding and executive programs between Jordan and Oman reflects the keenness of the leaders of the two countries to take practical steps towards consolidating cooperation.

Meanwhile, Oman's Deputy Prime Minister for Cabinet Affairs Sayyid Fahd bin Mahmoud al-Said discussed on Wednesday ties with Jordanian Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh on the sidelines of the King’s official visit to the Sultanate.

The two sides expressed their keenness on exploring prospects of cooperation in various fields.

They also reviewed several regional and international matters and touched on the efforts exerted to spread peace and stability in the region, according to Oman’s news agency, ONA.

The Jordanian Prime Minister reiterated the positive impact of the King's visit to Oman in terms of exchanging views on various matters of common interest.

The Muslim World League's (MWL) global conference on Girls' Education in Muslim Communities concluded in Islamabad on Monday with the launch of the “Islamabad Declaration for Girls’ Education,” receiving widespread approval from senior scholars, Islamic jurisprudence councils, international organizations, and activists.

The event also saw the establishment of a platform for international partnerships, acting as the initiative's executive arm, with over 20 agreements and pledges signed by scholars, United Nations organizations, and leaders from academic, media, and civil institutions.

The announcement was attended by MWL Secretary General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa, alongside representatives from Pakistan’s government and parliament.

The conference also featured global education activist Malala Yousafzai, senior muftis and scholars from the Islamic world, ministers of education from Islamic countries, and representatives from the United Nations University for Peace and the League of Islamic Universities.

The Islamabad Declaration drew inspiration from two landmark documents, the “Charter of Makkah” and the “Charter of Building Bridges between Islamic Schools of Thought and Sects,” both issued by MWL under the patronage of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

These charters emphasize the empowerment of women in education across all levels, aligning with the goals of the MWL’s initiative.

Key partnerships formed during the conference included a memorandum of understanding between the MWL and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to establish a strategic alliance supporting the education of girls.

The conference also prioritized providing scholarships to Muslim girls, enhancing their leadership and problem-solving skills.

Agreements were reached between the MWL and Islamic and international universities, the League of Islamic Universities, the United Nations University for Peace, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and UNICEF.

In addition, the MWL partnered with international organizations to conduct research and publish reports on women's issues. Media campaigns aimed at raising awareness about girls' right to education were also launched.

The conference concluded with pledges from global academic institutions and organizations to support girls' education through scholarships, grants, and programs designed to improve access to quality education.

This initiative underscores the MWL’s commitment to empowering girls in Muslim communities and fostering international cooperation for sustainable development.
