Oman UK strategic consultation on investment

The Sultanate of Oman hosted the inaugural meeting of the Omani British Strategic Consultation Team at the Oman Across Ages Museum in the Wilayat of Manah, A’Dakhiliyah Governorate.

The meeting covered key topics related to investment, business environment development, and investment cooperation opportunities, focusing on both countries’ investment strategies and target sectors.

Discussions also addressed ongoing efforts to enhance investment attractiveness in Oman and explored potential partnerships in scientific innovation, green energy, and knowledge exchange on best practices in promoting national identity and effective communication.

The meeting brought together representatives from relevant Omani departments and a UK delegation of government and private sector representatives, as well as consultants. The initiative is part of the broader joint efforts to foster economic, investment, and development cooperation, strengthening relations between Oman and the United Kingdom.

Workshops and technical sessions were held to explore community driven strategies for shaping a future vision, sectoral skill and competency frameworks aligned with labour market needs. Sessions also explored support systems for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across Oman. The findings from an advisory study on green transformation were also presented.

The meeting marked an important step in expanding bilateral cooperation, exchanging expertise, and advancing shared economic and investment objectives between Oman and the United Kingdom.
