New Delhi: Omani
ambassador to India Humaid Ali Al-Maani Monday said India and Oman
share a "very special" bond and their relationship will be
"enhanced" further.
"India is a very special partner for Oman and we are working to
enhance this relationship further, not only in our cultural
cooperation but in trade and political matters as well," Al-Maani
told IANS, after inaugurating a two-day seminar on literature and
cultural heritage of India and Oman at Jawaharlal Nehru University
(JNU) here.
The university also hosted two scholars from the country, on the
eve of its 40th National Day, who stressed on the similarities
between the languages of India and Oman.
"Urdu has many Arabic words and Arabic too has many Indian words
in it. So does our cultures, clothing etc. We have also also
shared great trade relations," said Dr. Said Sulaiman Al Isaie, one
of the visiting scholars.
Another scholar, Dr. Ahmed Abdur-Rahman Salim Bil Khair, presented
a paper titled "Role of Kerala in Arabic language in India".
"This is my paper because Kerala was the place Arab traders first
travelled to and it has influenced the culture and language a
lot," he said.
