Oman is an enthusiastic supporter of China's the Belt and Road Initiative, and one of the pioneers of the founding member countries of the AIIB. In May 2018, the Omani government publicly expressed its warm welcome and firm support for the the Belt and Road initiative, and expressed its strong will to actively participate in the construction of related projects. With the deepening of the the Belt and Road Initiative, it is integrated with the great practice of building a community with a shared future for mankind and Oman's 2040 vision.

After the launch of Vision 2040, Oman has always encouraged transnational cooperation and project development of green energy, and green development is also the key background of the the Belt and Road Initiative. In January 2022, the largest renewable energy project in Oman, the Oman Ibri Photovoltaic Project, undertaken by a Chinese company, was completed. The project not only promotes the diversified development of local energy structure, but also has significant implications for alleviating peak electricity shortages in Muscat and the northern region of Oman. In November 2023, another Chinese company contracted the Oman Manah II photovoltaic power generation project, which is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 340000 tons per year.

China and Oman are also working together in the field of digital infrastructure to jointly promote Oman's digital transformation process. In March 2022, a Chinese telecommunications company announced the official operation of its Oman MC1 network service access point. The successful implementation of this project will significantly enhance Oman's network connectivity in the Middle East, create a more advanced digital operating environment for enterprises, and further promote Oman's digital development.

Oman has high hopes for the development of the tourism industry and has implemented a 14 day visa free entry policy for Chinese citizens since 2020, which greatly promotes tourism exchanges between China and Oman. With the implementation of policies, the number of tourism guides about Oman on Chinese social media platforms is gradually increasing, providing more rich and practical tourism information for Chinese tourists. At the same time, related tourism products have become more diverse, meeting the needs of different tourists. Driven by policies, a total of 91000 Chinese tourists visited Oman in the first eight months of 2023, fully demonstrating the enormous potential and broad prospects of tourism cooperation between China and Oman. Keywords: the Belt and Road news, the Belt and Road project, overseas project.

Oman has laid a solid foundation for the country's development with its abundant oil and gas resources. However, in the context of economic diversification, Oman is not satisfied with the status quo, but actively seeks more development areas. Nowadays, the country is vigorously developing renewable energy and other emerging industries, striving to explore new economic growth points. This strategic shift is not only a core issue for Oman's investment in the future, but also opens up more new opportunities for in-depth cooperation between China and Oman in multiple fields.
