Speaking at the event, His Excellency Amit Narang said: “Just as the Indians and Omanis take justifiable pride in their own culture and traditions, they have always kept their doors and windows open to winds of diverse influences from abroad.
This has enriched our respective cultural fabrics, fostered social harmony and helped us collectively promote peaceful co-existence on the global stage. Today as we celebrate these two artifacts, we celebrate this shared tradition. A tradition that is a reminder that the two countries share not only thousands of years of history, but thousands of years of friendship.”
