What is the national motto of Omani diplomacy and foreign policy established during the Renaissance?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 'Friend to all, enemy to none' (peaceful coexistence and constructive dialogue)
- Step 1: Oman's foreign policy is founded on principles of mutual respect, peaceful conflict resolution, mediation, and maintaining positive diplomatic relations with all regional and global partners.
- Step 2: This approach has enabled Oman to facilitate key international peace accords and negotiations.
Answer
'Friend to all, enemy to none' (peaceful coexistence and constructive dialogue).
Why not the others: 'Strict isolationism and commercial non-engagement' is contrary to Oman's active global trade and diplomacy; 'Unconditional military interventionism across the region' contradicts the constitutional principle of non-interference; 'Expansion of regional territorial sovereignty' is aggressive and contrary to international law.
