British Embassy in Oman

Oman is a Gulf country on the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea. It has a land area of 1,376 square miles and a population of 2.6 million. Oman’s strategic location, natural resources and modern development strategies have made it one of the world’s most prosperous countries. Since 1960, Oman has witnessed significant modernization within its infrastructure as well as in its social, economic and political systems. See also the British Nationals in the Middle East as well as British Embassy in Tunisia.

In 1960, Sultan Qaboos founded the National Foundation for Development and Reconstruction with the goal of transforming Oman’s development strategy from an agricultural to an industrial one. NORDR further developed Oman’s educational system by establishing more schools and colleges. NORDR also provided training programs for Omanis to become skilled in their fields and created job opportunities for Omanis. Today, NORDR continues to improve Oman’s development strategy through modernizing government agencies and increasing economic growth. See also the British Embassy in Morocco.

Oman entered a new era of political transition in 2006 with the withdrawal of British forces and the establishment of a national army. After decades of conflict between national factions, Oman established its first parliamentary government in 2012 with an election result that favored pro-forma participation over boycott threats. With these historical transitions underway, Oman is eager to capitalize on its strong economy, strategic location and educated workforce to become a global economic power in the 21st century.
