Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tarik on Saturday firmed up a vision document to significantly expand bilateral cooperation in around 10 key areas and pushed for concluding a trade pact as early as possible during their "productive" talks.
Modi and Tarik also discussed the situation arising out of the Hamas-Israel conflict and the challenge of terrorism as well as the larger need to try and achieve a two-state solution to the Palestine issue as a way forward.
At a media briefing, Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra described the discussions between Modi and the visiting leader as "comprehensive and constructive".
He said PM Modi and Oman's Sultan adopted a joint vision document to lay the pathway for bilateral cooperation in a range of areas including maritime sphere, connectivity, green energy, space, digital payments, health, tourism and agriculture and food security.
