Oman and Iran are coordinating navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway that links the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf, Omani Foreign Minister Yusuf bin Alawi said, APA reports citing Sputnik.
"There is coordination between the Sultanate [of Oman] and the Iranian side on organizing navigation as it relates to the passage through the Strait [of Hormuz]. Coordination is at a high technical level", bin Alawi told on Sunday.
He noted that Oman, while concerned about the safety of navigation in the strait, was not a mediator for regional conflicts.
On Saturday, bin Alawi met with his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif in Tehran where the two sides stressed the importance of cooperation between the two nations.
