Oman, Britain relations moving forward: UK envoy

Muscat: Bilateral relations between Oman and Britain are historic and excellent and are moving forward in every dimension, said Jonathan Wilks, British Ambassador to Oman, after inaugurating the ‘Best of Britain’ festival at Lulu Hypermarket – Baushar. The British ambassador said that while trade figures are down because of low oil prices, investment figures are up. “But the trade figures will go up when the oil prices start moving up,” he said, adding, the United Kingdom still remains the largest foreign investor in Oman. Ananth A.V, Director of Lulu Oman & India said, “We hope this event not only satisfies our British shoppers, but also the local communities in Oman too.”
