TOKYO: The Omani Embassy in Tokyo celebrated National Day with a reception on Thursday, which was attended by nearly 300 guests, including State Minister for Foreign Affairs Kunimitsu Ayano, Japanese politicians, government officials, diplomats, businesspeople, and friends of Oman.
Ambassador Dr. Mohamed Said Albusaidi welcomed the guests and stated that the country’s national day embodies the celebration of Oman’s rich history, dating back to the founding of the Al Bu Said State on November 20, 1744, when the founder Imam Ahmad bin Said Al Busaidi unified the nation’s banner and laid the foundations of the modern Omani state based on sovereignty, unity and dignity.
“This occasion is also an opportunity to honor the Sultans of Oman who have faithfully shouldered their responsibility across generations, preserving the country’s unity and prosperity while strengthening its civilizational and humanitarian presence regionally and internationally,” the Ambassador stated, reminding his audience of the country’s many achievements since “the dawn of the Renaissance in 1970, established by the late His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said, and proudly continued today under the wise leadership of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik.”
