New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will undertake a two-day visit to Oman from December 17 to 18, 2025, at the invitation of Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, the Ministry of External Affairs announced on Thursday. This will be Modi’s second visit to the Gulf nation and comes at a significant moment as India and Oman celebrate 70 years of formal diplomatic relations.

Briefing the media ahead of the Prime Minister’s upcoming tour of Jordan, Ethiopia and Oman, Secretary (CPV & OIA) Arun Kumar Chatterjee said the visit underscores the deepening strategic partnership between the two nations. “PM Modi will visit Oman on 17–18 December 2025 at the invitation of Sultan Haitham bin Tariq.
