Oman’s Minister of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion, Qais bin Mohammad Al Yousef praised India's economic growth in the past 20 years and appreciated the country's leadership for the massive transformation achieved during the period.
Addressing the media, he was quoted as saying by ANI: "Actually, we congratulate India on what it has achieved–honestly, the growth, impressive growth, impressive transformation over the last 20 years."
"So we congratulate your leadership, and the people of India; you have worked hard to achieve economic growth," he said.
He said the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement between India and Oman is currently under negotiation.
He said: "We have had several rounds and we are having one round coming up. And then we will see how it progresses. So things are still progressing.”
On the India-Middle East-Europe economic corridor, he said, “Any sort of project that can ease business and trade is always welcome. And we have to see how it progresses. But at the moment, you know, shipping and logistics are essential elements of connecting and connectivity and also have an impact on the cost of doing business. So that’s always welcome.”
