The Sultanate of Oman

    Sultane Qaboos has long been and continues to be a steadfast leader for the Sultanate of Oman and it is the expectation that he will continue his reign in good health.  It is important to note, that he has been a vital link in communications between Iran and the West during tense situations.  The recent death of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia serves as a reminder of the importance and value in a clear line of succession to a competent heir, particularly in a region marred by unfortunate terrorist threats and in need of steady consistency more now than ever.  Oman has a thriving civil society that Sultane Qaboos has the leading role in creating and it is my sincere hope that the Sultane Qaboos will continue his reign, but would like to remind him to secure his legacy by making sure that a successor is chosen and being prepared for leadership by assuming increasing responsibility and command over day to day affairs of the State.
