During Qaboos’ reign (1970-2020), Oman generally avoided joining other countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman) in regional military interventions, instead seeking to mediate their resolution. Oman joined the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State organization, but it did not send forces to that effort, nor did it support groups fighting Syrian President Bashar Al Asad’s regime.

Oman and China have started large-scale communications in maritime civilizations through the vast Indian Ocean in Han Dynasty, and the exchanges reached the peak in Tang Dynasty. These exchanges gradually declined with the rise of Western navigation industry. Since the founding of the modern nation-state system, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Muscat regime in Oman have some conflicts in diplomacy. The relations between two nations, however, began to improve after the mid-1970s, and the formal diplomatic relations was established in 1978. Since then, both countries have enjoyed rapid development in the fields of politics, culture and particularly in economics. China and Oman became important regional economic and trade partners. Whether seen from the perspective of historical contacts or the trend of present economic development, the One Belt and One Road Initiative (OBOR) has providing a golden opportunity for cooperation between China and Oman, at the same time, this initiative has received active response from Oman. In general, China and Oman’s cooperation is a typical model in the Middle East, and two countries have made many cooperation achievements under OBOR, such as the China-Oman Industrial Park in Duqm.

  • Integration of Oman Ports Into Global Supply Chains: Case of Duqm Port
    Global Advanced Research Journal of Management and Business Studies (ISSN: 2315-5086) Vol. 3(5) pp. 189-200, May, 2014 Available online http://garj.org/garjmbs/index.htm Copyright © 2014 Global Advanced Research Journals Review Integration of Oman Ports into Global Supply Chains: case of Duqm Port Dr. Anna Stalinska Associate Professor, Department of Management Studies, Middle East College, KOM, Oman. Email: [email protected] Accepted 02 May 2014 In the Globalized world, country’s integration into Global Supply Chain (GSC) is gaining more and more importance as it leads to gaining comparative advantages, boosting business development with attraction of investments. Within this, country’s integration into GSC can be viewed from different perspectives and within different disciplines. This study is based on the assumption that Oman is integrated into GSC through its ports. Empirical investigation and analysis of four parameters of port integration into GSC proves that Duqm Port (one of the biggest ports of Oman) is integrated into GSC. The case of Duqm Port proves that Oman indeed is integrated through its ports into GSC.
