“The late Sultan Qaboos was well-respected by not just the people of Oman but across the globe. Oman reached great heights under his benevolence. He single-handedly took the country to what it is today. During his long reign, Qaboos turned Oman into a modern, stable, and inclusive state,” said Mohammed Siraj, a resident of Thalassery.
