The ‘Order of Oman’ is the 29th highest international civilian honour to be conferred on Prime Minister Modi. Earlier, he has received prestigious honours like the Grand Cross of Ethiopia and the Order of Mubarak Al-Kabir from Kuwait. This honour reflects the global recognition of Prime Minister Modi and India’s growing diplomatic influence.
Speaking on India-Oman relations, Prime Minister Modi said that education and space cooperation are further strengthening the ties between the two countries. He said that completing 50 years of Indian education in Oman is a great achievement and an important milestone in the relations between the two countries.
