The visit marks the first official visit by a Rwandan president to Oman.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kagame\u2019s visit began with an official welcoming ceremony before he held talks with Sultan Haitham bin Tariq.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two leaders were later joined by delegations from both countries for bilateral talks aimed at advancing cooperation in areas of mutual interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the second day of his visit, Kagame is scheduled to tour the Museum of the Frankincense Land, located within the Al Baleed Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum has two main sections.

The Maritime Hall presents Oman\u2019s history of seafaring and maritime trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kagame will also visit Razat Royal Farm, which covers more than 404 hectares. The facility is among the major agricultural establishments in Dhofar Governorate and is also used for agri-tourism and educational activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sultan Haitham will host Kagame and his delegation at a dinner during the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
