On November 10, 2026, Zhai Jun, the Chinese government’s special envoy for the Middle East issue, visited Oman and met with Oman’s Minister-level Ambassador for Foreign Affairs Shinay to exchange in-depth views on China-Oman relations and the current situation in the Middle East.

Zhai Jun said that the friendly relations between China and Oman have a long history. Not long ago, Sultan Haitham of Oman successfully visited China. President Xi Jinping and Sultan Haitham reached a series of important consensuses on deepening the China-Oman strategic partnership. China is willing to work with Afghanistan and take the important diplomatic results of the two heads of state as a guide to promote bilateral relations to a higher level. Currently, the situation in the Middle East continues to be turbulent, and China has always been actively committed to promoting peace and ending war. President Xi Jinping has put forward a series of initiatives and propositions dedicated to peace and stability in the Middle East, contributing Chinese wisdom and solutions to resolve regional security dilemmas. China calls on all parties concerned to resolve differences and conflicts through dialogue and negotiation, appreciates the efforts of Oman and other countries to quell the war and strive for peace, and is willing to maintain close communication and coordination with all parties to jointly contribute to the restoration of peace and tranquility in the Middle East and Gulf region.

Shinay said that Oman cherishes its strategic partnership with China and will implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and continuously promote cooperation between Oman and China in various fields. The development of the situation in the Middle East concerns the common interests of all regional countries and the international community, and Oman will continue to play a mediating and coordinating role. Afghanistan shares a similar position with China on regional issues, appreciates China's positive and constructive role in promoting de-escalation, and is willing to work with China to coordinate and promote relevant parties to resolve disputes through peaceful means and jointly promote regional peace and stability.
