Sultan of Oman Haitham bin Tariq concluded on Tuesday an official two-day visit to Bahrain.

King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa saw him off at the airport.

The two monarchs had witnessed the signing of a number of agreements between their countries tackling security and investment.

The leaders also held talks on bilateral relations and regional and international developments.

On Tuesday, they held a meeting at the Al Sakhir Palace to discuss the “unique historic ties” between their countries and various aspects of brotherly cooperation and ways to support and bolster it.

They underscored their keenness to develop their relations and to constantly hold consultations and maintain coordination for the benefit of their countries and peoples.

Sultan Haitham also met with Bahrain’s Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

Crown Prince Salman stressed Manama’s keenness on bolstering cooperation and coordination with Oman in all fields to achieve desired goals.

He highlighted the development of relations between Manama and Muscat, citing the signing of agreements and mutual visits between the two parties.

The Omani Royal Court had stated that Sultan Haitham’s visit to Manama came “to consolidate the existing solid historical ties between Oman and Bahrain, and to affirm their keenness to strengthen relations and take them to broader horizons.”

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the Israeli military attack against Iran describing it as a flagrant violation of its sovereignty and international law, the Saudi Press Agency said on Sunday.
In a press release, the OIC reaffirmed its stance against any escalation that could further destabilize the region, calling on the international community and influential actors to work toward reducing tensions and putting an end to the cycle of violence.
OIC reiterated its firm position and called for an immediate and urgent halt to the Israeli aggression in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
On Saturday, Israeli warplanes hit several military targets in Iran in retaliation for an Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel earlier this month.
