Sultanate of Oman opens embassy in Budapest
Hungary prioritises peace and opposes the prolongation of war, Levente Magyar, a foreign ministry state secretary, said at the ceremonial opening of the Sultanate of Oman’s embassy in Budapest on Tuesday, adding that Oman’s dedication to finding diplomatic solutions accorded with Hungary’s ethos.
Foreign Ministry Undersecretary for Administrative and Financial Affairs Khalid bin Hashel bin Mohammed Al-Muslahi and Ambassador Malallah Mahmood Shaban Al Balushi attended the event on behalf of Oman.
Magyar said the embassy’s opening marked a new chapter in the two countries’ histories. Strengthening links with the Middle East is a basic pillar of the Hungarian government’s foreign policy and economic strategy, he added. The large number of ambassadors from Middle Eastern countries attending the event “is a testament to this.”
He praised Oman’s intermediary role in resolving regional conflicts, adding that Oman was among the first countries to call for peace talks to resolve the Yemeni conflict and guarantee the security and freedom of Red Sea shipping.
The state secretary said that Hungary continued to support the personal ties developed with Oman in recent years, primarily under the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship scheme arrangements. He noted that talks on launching direct flights between the two countries’ capitals and main cities are underway.
