MUSCAT: His Excellency Sayyid Badr Al Busaidi has called for a constructive dialogue between GCC countries that will help solve issues.
Speaking at the 16th edition of the IISS Manama Dialogue being held in Bahrain, Sayyid Badr explained how the Sultanate dealt with countries interfering in its domestic affairs through diplomacy rather than conflict. “We have had our share of countries interfering in the internal affairs of my country,” he said on Saturday.
Sayyid Badr said Oman was able to stop the interventions by engaging these countries and reaching an understanding with them instead of resorting to conflicts. “I am talking from an experienced track record. It’s not a theory. If it can be done by us (Oman), it can be done by everyone else,” he noted.
