President Rais's visit to Muscat is in continuation of following up policy on promotion of cultural, political, and economic cooperation with neighbors, which has been adopted by the Iranian government.

In Muscat, the Iranian president will hold an official meeting with Omani Sultan at Al Alam Palace.

Several documents on cooperation will be signed in the meeting.

Also, the President is scheduled to meet with the Iranians residing in Oman.
