India Defence Online, New Delhi — Indian Defence Minister AK Antony will visit Oman on May 17-18 to foster greater defence ties between the two countries.
A press release issued by the Indian defence ministry said during his stay in Muscat, Antony will hold wide-ranging talks with his Oman counterpart, Sayyid Badr bin Saud bin Harib Al Busaidi, to promote military cooperation. Antony is accompanied by a high-level delegation including the Defence Secretary Shri Pradeep Kumar.
Shri Antony will also hold talks with the top leadership of the Sultanate of Oman and meet the Indian community members working there.
India and Oman have a vibrant military cooperation. In October last year Jaguar fighter jets of the Indian Air Force flew to Oman to participate in the first joint air exercise with the Royal Air Force of Oman. Following the signing of a protocol agreement on military relations between India and Oman in 1972, the last decade has seen an increase of military relations between India and Oman.
Presently a two-tier arrangement for defence cooperation –JMCC and Air Force-to-Air Force Staff Talks (AFST) exists with Oman.
