MUSCAT — Moroccan expertise will be extensively used in the restoration of ancient monuments and buildings of archaeological significance in Oman following a three-year deal signed between the two countries here.
The cultural cooperation accord, inked on Monday after a meeting of the Oman-Morocco Joint Committee, co-chaired by Manpower Minister Shaikh Abdullah bin Nasser Al Bakri and visiting Moroccan Minister of Employment and Vocational Training Jamal Aghmani, also covers Oman’s financial contribution to a number of projects in the African kingdom.
Under the pact, the Ministry of Heritage and Culture assigns the Moroccan Ministry of Culture the task of renovating and maintaining some of the historic and archaeological sites in the Sultanate including castles, forts, towers, walls and mosques.
A detailed programme of restoration for each site will be drawn up after the two sides hold further discussions to decide on the architecture, quality specifications, technical manpower and cost of each of the projects. The agreement, which came into force on Monday and is valid until February 2012, provides for Oman’s financial assistance to a number of cultural projects in the kingdom, the fine points of which will be finalised later.
The cultural cooperation pact was one of several accords signed after the joint committee meeting. One lays down the framework for interaction between Oman’s Royal Hospital and the University Treatment Centre in Rabat aimed at, among other things, improving efficiency of health professionals. It was signed by Dr Ghazi bin Omar al Zubaindi, Director-general of the Royal Hospital, with Dr Noor Eddin bin Omar, Moroccan Ambassador to the Sultanate.
The two Arab states will enhance ties in electronic and print media under another deal. They will provide all necessary facilities for news correspondents from each other’s country, exchange radio and TV programmes, documentary films and serials and conduct joint training courses and projects. Another accord calls for stepping up bilateral trade. The two sides welcomed the signing of an agreement here on Sunday to set up an Omani-Moroccan Businessmen Council, which is due to hold its first meeting in Morocco in April.
