Bilateral Relations

Relations between the United Arab Emirates and the sisterly Sultanate of Oman are distinguished by their historical depth and enduring strength, anchored in close bonds of fraternity, kinship, and good neighborliness, as well as deep-rooted social and cultural ties between the two brotherly peoples. Under the guidance and continued support of the leadership of both countries, these relations have developed into a comprehensive and forward-looking partnership, founded on mutual trust, shared interests, and a common commitment to strengthening cooperation and integration across strategic and vital sectors.

The UAE–Oman Joint Higher Committee, established in 1991, serves as a key institutional framework for advancing bilateral relations and following up on joint initiatives and projects. Its work has contributed to expanding cooperation across a broad range of sectors, including economy, trade and investment, transport and logistics, financial markets and services, energy and infrastructure, innovation and technology, education and scientific research, healthcare, security and defense, as well as environment and sustainability.

The two brotherly countries continue to deepen their relations and broaden avenues for partnership and integration through bilateral agreements, memoranda of understanding, and joint projects and initiatives, in support of shared interests, sustainable development and prosperity, and the aspirations of both peoples.
