🇷🇺 Putin Meets with Sultan of Oman

🇴🇲 Today, negotiations between the two heads of state are taking place in Moscow. The ruler of Oman arrived in Russia on a state visit. This is a significant event in bilateral relations. State visits are always meticulously planned, strictly regulated by protocol, and typically accompanied by the signing of a comprehensive package of documents. During the talks, the leaders of Russia and Oman assessed the current level of cooperation, emphasized the need to deepen it further through various forms and avenues, and expressed readiness for continued collaboration, including within the multilateral "Russia-Arab World" format proposed by Vladimir Putin.

Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said is one of the mediators in the nuclear deal negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. Moscow also aims to join those involved in the peaceful resolution of this dispute.

One of Oman’s most notable advantages is undoubtedly its consistent neutrality. The oil-rich country does not join military coalitions, acts cautiously on the international stage, and frequently serves as a platform for negotiations between conflicting parties. This sets it apart from other Gulf monarchies, known for their anti-Iranian and often pro-American stance.

Oman’s leadership excels at negotiation and avoids impulsive decisions. We can develop trade relations in agriculture, as Russia is a major food exporter, as well as in energy and transportation. On these issues, the leaders clearly found common ground.

Regarding future plans, various agreements will be signed following the negotiations. Subsequently, we will likely see changes in the composition of mediators in the U.S.-Iran talks.

🏜 A Real Desert in Orenburg

🇷🇺 This astonishing place in the steppes of the Orenburg Region creates the sensation that we are closer to Africa and Central Asia than one might imagine.

Sand dunes 6-8 meters high transport us to Egypt or the UAE, letting us experience the atmosphere of a scorching desert!

🌊 The history of this area is linked to an ancient sea. Once a seabed, it vanished, leaving behind sandy barchans.

Historians consider this desert an anomaly for the Orenburg Region!

🐫 It also has ties to Turkic peoples’ history: the Silk Road passed through here, where merchant caravans from Asia traversed these lands.

📍Geolocation: Orenburg Region, Sol-Iletsky District, "Kumak Desert"
