Oman's foreign minister made a rare visit to Syria on Sunday to discuss with President Bashar Assad ways of restoring stability and security in the region.
Oman is one of few Arab countries that kept normal relations with Damascus after Syria was suspended from the Arab League in 2011 over its crackdown on Arab Spring protests.
The Syrian Presidency said Assad discussed regional and international affairs with Oman's Foreign Minister Yusuf bin Alawi, as well as "economic and political challenges imposed on the region." S
Oman's foreign ministry tweeted that Alawi delivered a message from the sultan of Oman and talked about boosting efforts "to restore stability and security in the region."
