Iran, Oman sign maritime demarcation agreement

Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif

Iran and Oman have signed an agreement to demarcate their maritime borders in the Sea of Oman.

The agreement will "institutionalize and promote Tehran-Muscat relations,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters in the Omani capital on Tuesday.

Zarif also hailed the deal which would complete the border line between the two countries.

He noted that Iran and Oman "have very good relations and broad cooperation."

“This agreement demonstrates the [kind of] ties Iran is keen on having with all its neighboring countries, particularly in the Persian Gulf,” Zarif said.

The Iranian minister arrived in Muscat at the head of a delegation on Tuesday to hold talks with Omani officials.

Zarif will afterwards set off for Kuwait City to participate in the 42nd annual meeting of foreign ministers of member countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
