MUSCAT (Press TV) – Oman’s Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik has offered his felicitations to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on his victory in the 2021 presidential election. In a cable, Sultan Haitham also expressed his best wishes of success to the Syrian president “in leading the Syrian people towards further aspirations of stability, progress and prosperity”.
