SHARJAH, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 02nd Mar, 2023) A Sharjah delegation, headed by Sheikh Fahim Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Department of Government Relations (DGR), discussed strengthening cultural cooperation with Omani government officials during a recent visit to the Sultanate.
The Sharjah delegation was received by Salem bin Mohammed Al Mahrouqi, Oman's Minister of Heritage and Tourism and representatives of government agencies in the Sultanate.
The Omani side welcomed the Sharjah delegation, affirmed the strong historical relations between the UAE and Oman, and praised the emirate's efforts under the leadership of H.H. Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, in stimulating the cultural movement and bolstering the emirate’s status on the global cultural map.
The visit aligns with the emirate's ongoing mission to foster and strengthen cultural relations between Sharjah and cities worldwide.

This visit, among others, strengthens relations between the emirate's cultural, knowledge and creative institutions and their Omani counterparts. It paves the way for developing initiatives that promote knowledge and tourism and support work between both sides to explore supporting the cultural sector and document and study heritage.”
