TEHRAN, December 25 - Iranian Ambassador to Oman Mohammad Reza Noori Shahroudi and Omani Minister of Oil and Gas Mohammed bin Hamad Al Rumhi discussed a major project to export gas from the Islamic Republic to the Arab country.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - In the meeting held in Muscat on Sunday, Noori Shahroudi and the Omani minister exchanged views on a range of issues including the latest situation of the project to construct a gas pipeline from Iran to Oman and ways to expedite the implementation of the project.
