Liang Guanglie said that China and Oman enjoy time-honored friendly relations as evidenced by frequent high-level reciprocal visits and fruitful results in economy and trade cooperation since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 1978. The Chinese and Omani militaries have also maintained good cooperative relations as evidenced by constant reciprocal visits among delegations and personnel exchanges. The Chinese side expresses its appreciation and gratitude to the Omani side for its great support to the Navy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) in the escort operations in the Gulf of Aden and the waters off the Somali coast.
Liang Guanglie expressed that the Chinese military attaches importance to its relations with the Omani military, and is willing to make joint efforts with the Omani side to constantly push forward the bilateral friendly and cooperative relations to a new high.
