[00:04:45] The Socialist Republic of Vietnam decided to open
[00:04:48] an embassy in Muscat, in order to strengthen the growing
[00:04:51] relations between the two friendly countries. This came during
[00:04:55] the fifth session of political consultations between
[00:04:58] the Sultanate of Oman and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, which was held in the Vietnamese
[00:05:02] capital, Hanoi. During the session,

[00:05:43] Under the umbrella of friendship that unites the Sultanate of Oman
[00:05:46] and the Swiss Confederation, the Swiss capital Bern is hosting
[00:05:50] a health summit organized by the Omani-Swiss
[00:05:54] Friendship Association. The summit comes with the participation of officials, experts
[00:05:57] and representatives from the health, scientific research
[00:06:02] both countries to discuss cooperation opportunities,
[00:06:05] exchange expertise and explore investment
[00:06:08] prospects in the fields of healthcare and modern medical technologies.
[00:06:15] Developing healthcare, expanding partnerships,
[00:06:19] and attracting investment are priorities that bring the Sultanate of Oman
[00:06:22] and Switzerland together in a health summit
[00:06:26] hosted by the friendship
[00:06:30] of Oman and Switzerland in the Swiss capital, Bern, with the participation
[00:06:33] of His Excellency the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health for Administrative
[00:06:36] and Financial Affairs. The summit brings together experts
[00:06:39] and representatives from the health, research,
[00:06:42] and industry sectors under the theme
[00:06:45] Digital Diagnosis to Smart Treatment" to discuss
[00:06:49] cooperation opportunities and benefit from Swiss
[00:06:52] expertise in developing health services,
[00:06:55] in preparation for a second station to be hosted
[00:06:58] by the Sultanate of Oman next year. I appreciate the
[00:07:02] role played by the Omani-Swiss Friendship Association and its
[00:07:05] constructive cooperation with the embassy in strengthening
[00:07:10] forum is a prelude
[00:07:12] to another forum to be held next year in Muscat or
[00:07:16] Salalah. It will focus on the health
[00:07:19] sector, pharmaceutical industries, and medical devices.
[00:07:23] I think it's an opportunity
[00:07:25] to showcase our investment opportunities
[00:07:29] in this field to
[00:07:32] event, of course, comes as a result of the
[00:07:36] Swiss President's visit to His Majesty in
[00:07:38] Oman on the 25th.
[00:07:43] And it was one of the main pillars
[00:07:47] that they decided to
[00:07:50] try to reconcile between the Swiss
[00:07:54] side and the Omani side. I mean,
[00:07:57] these meetings will create new partnerships, God
[00:08:00] willing, in the field of investment
[00:08:04] health sector.
[00:08:06] The summit will address solutions to improve care
[00:08:10] and raise the efficiency of services,
[00:08:13] and the opportunities it offers for partnership and investment
[00:08:16] in the health sector. It will also review the experience of the
[00:08:20] city of Basel in remote patient monitoring using
[00:08:23] wearable medical devices.
[00:08:25] للارتداء.
[00:08:28] I discovered during the meeting that our challenges and problems
[00:08:31] are quite similar. We can
[00:08:35] certainly learn from each other's experiences
[00:08:38] by exchanging expertise and solutions.
[00:08:43] I have visited Oman frequently. Its population is not large,
[00:08:46] but they are very curious
[00:08:50] and very interested in innovation. It is a country
[00:08:52] that is developing perhaps at a faster pace than we see
[00:08:56] in Europe, and it is interesting from an investment
[00:08:59] perspective.
[00:09:02] to medical technologies, but expands to cover
[00:09:06] drug safety and hospital hygiene.
[00:09:09] These are areas that open up opportunities for the Sultanate
[00:09:12] of Oman for partnerships that support the security of medical
[00:09:15] supplies, develop services, and link investment opportunities
[00:09:19] with the needs of the health sector, while keeping
[00:09:22] the patient and their safety at the heart of attention.
[00:09:25] The Bern station paves the way for a second summit
[00:09:29] in the Sultanate of Oman in 2027, amid
[00:09:32] aspirations to translate dialogue and exchange of experiences
[00:09:36] into tangible cooperation projects. The challenge remains
[00:09:40] to transform the ideas presented into practical applications
[00:09:43] that reflect on the quality of healthcare
[00:09:46] and patient safety. Dina Abi Saab from the Swiss
[00:09:50] capital Bern, Oman Television.
[00:09:53] In Salalah, the Third
[00:09:56] International Conference on Computing and Data
[00:09:59] Analytics began with the participation of researchers and academics from
[00:10:03] various countries around the world. The conference discusses the latest
[00:10:06] developments in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data
[00:10:09] science, and the role of scientific research in technological
[00:10:13] solutions that support innovation and the digital
[00:10:15] economy. Among
[00:10:18] 689 research papers,
[00:10:21] 100 papers passed the scientific peer review for participation.
[00:10:25] The Third International Conference on Computing and Data
[00:10:28] Analytics at the University of Technology and Applied Sciences
[00:10:31] in Salalah, which brings together researchers from
[00:10:34] 27 countries in an international platform
[00:10:37] for knowledge exchange and expertise, comes
[00:10:41] to focus on seven main axes, including
[00:10:45] artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, ethics of artificial
[00:10:47] intelligence, information systems, emerging
[00:10:50] technologies. We received
[00:10:53] 689 papers,
[00:10:55] only 100 of which were accepted, with an acceptance rate of
[00:10:58] 14.5%.
[00:11:01] The conference aims to convey the latest
[00:11:04] research developments to the international
[00:11:07] community, as all
[00:11:10] the conference will be published in the IEEE
[00:11:13] Xplore journal. From early diagnosis
[00:11:16] of diseases to climate and air quality prediction,
[00:11:20] the participating research reviews applications of
[00:11:23] artificial intelligence and data analysis in confronting
[00:11:27] real challenges, in addition to developing educational
[00:11:31] technologies and enhancing the conference today discussed, and during the opening
[00:11:35] speech, we talked about the dark side of artificial intelligence, which is
[00:11:39] the lack of trust in the field of artificial intelligence. Today, there is deepfaking
[00:11:42] using it, also the possibility of accessing data, the possibility of designing
[00:11:46] data by artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence today was created
[00:11:49] to satisfy the user, so it will answer wrong answers
[00:11:53] and make you believe that the answers it provided
[00:11:57] data, the presence of artificial intelligence requires precise governance,
[00:12:01] and this is what the conference today addressed. Cybersecurity
[00:12:04] and responsible artificial intelligence are among the most prominent
[00:12:08] topics of the conference through sessions
[00:12:11] that discuss digital deception and the importance
[00:12:14] of governance and ethics in keeping pace with rapid
[00:12:18] technological development. The importance of having
[00:12:21] a cybersecurity element in the Third International
[00:12:25] Conference on Computing and Data Analytics at the University of
[00:12:29] Technology and Applied Sciences and its impact on
[00:12:32] students and workers in the university education
[00:12:35] sector, and the new transformation that occurred
[00:12:39] in the impact of attacks using artificial intelligence
[00:12:42] and how to protect them with cybersecurity defense methods.
[00:12:46] Between scientific research and technical applications,
[00:12:49] the conference opens horizons for knowledge exchange
[00:12:52] and developing solutions that respond to the demands
[00:12:55] of the future and enhance the presence of innovation
[00:12:59] in various sectors. Hussein bin Muslim Jaaboub,

[00:13:49] program to bring together government leaders to discuss experiences
[00:13:53] and strategies that enhance the ability
[00:13:56] to create opportunities. The "Irtiqaa" program is a three-year
[00:14:00] program that targets
[00:14:02] 650 employees in government
[00:14:06] institutions. The aim is to unify
[00:14:09] understanding and share
[00:14:12] experiences between government
[00:14:15] in digital transformation. The strategic objectives
[00:14:19] of the forum are to align the decisions and directions
[00:14:23] of senior leaders with Oman
[00:14:25] Vision 2040 to ensure that digital
[00:14:28] transformation is directed as a strategic pillar
[00:14:32] of the national economy. Unifying leadership vision

[00:14:49] enhancing their capabilities in strategic decision-making,
[00:14:52] adopting advanced technologies, and accelerating
[00:14:56] innovation. Establishing effective governance
[00:14:59] and a culture of collaborative work at the leadership
[00:15:02] level to ensure the sustainability of digital
[00:15:06] transformation and achieve tangible impact. The civil
[00:15:09] sector, thank God, has made great strides in digital
[00:15:12] transformation in services, having launched nearly
[00:15:15] 53 services so far. We hope
[00:15:19] in the coming time, God willing, that the government services
[00:15:23] system, which will be nearly 600 services,
[00:15:26] will be completed, which will positively reflect on the efficiency
[00:15:30] of operations and, of course, the speed
[00:15:34] of response and service delivery to the beneficiary.
[00:15:39] on important points in digital transformation
[00:15:44] of leaders in the future,
[00:15:46] and the adaptation of these leaders in knowing
[00:15:50] the positive and also negative aspects,
[00:15:54] not only at the level of government
[00:15:57] institutions, but also for individuals and society.
[00:16:00] Interactive discussions address the challenges
[00:16:03] facing institutions in light of the equal
[00:16:08] changes. They present experiences and solutions
[00:16:11] to develop decision-making methods that meet
[00:16:14] the needs of beneficiaries. Aspirations for developing
[00:16:18] the government work system are carried by the "Irtiqaa"
[00:16:22] program to give institutions opportunities to find more
[00:16:26] effective solutions that support the digital
[00:16:29] transformation process in the Sultanate of Oman and enhance
[00:16:33] the quality of government services.

[00:16:58] of trading this week, with a slight decrease
[00:17:02] compared to last week, amid varying
[00:17:05] main sectoral indices.
[00:17:10] this week, the Muscat Stock Exchange recorded
[00:17:13] a slight decrease, with the general index closing
[00:17:17] at 7276
[00:17:19] points, compared to the previous
[00:17:22] week. The main sectoral indices varied,
[00:17:26] as the industry index rose,
[00:17:28] while the services and financial index
[00:17:32] fell. There was anticipation at the beginning of this week,
[00:17:36] and therefore the Muscat Stock Exchange the first three
[00:17:40] sessions, followed by increases
[00:17:43] after that, but we need
[00:17:46] a support point or at the support level
[00:17:49] of 7200, with trading
[00:17:53] in the index and its continued ascent. The total
[00:17:56] trading value decreased by 43%
[00:18:00] to approximately 14 million
[00:18:02] and 153
[00:18:04] thousand Omani riyals, after trading
[00:18:08] 598 million securities
[00:18:11] through approximately 72 thousand
[00:18:14] transactions. As for the market value of the Muscat
[00:18:17] Stock Exchange, it recorded a slight decrease to
[00:18:21] approximately 38 billion and
[00:18:23] 495 million Omani riyals.

[00:18:30] are awaiting the results of the American elections, in addition
[00:18:33] to the geopolitical changes happening in the region, along with
[00:18:37] the pressures on oil prices and their instability.
[00:18:41] This was announced near the total
[00:18:44] profits of insurance companies listed on the Muscat
[00:18:47] Stock Exchange, 25 million Omani riyals,
[00:18:53] the current year. The financial results reflected the different
[00:18:56] factors affecting the performance of the companies,
[00:18:59] as investment returns contributed to supporting the profits
[00:19:03] of some of them, while the decline in insurance
[00:19:07] services results, the increase in claims, and underwriting
[00:19:10] pressures were influencing factors in the results
[00:19:14] of other companies. The data also showed a disparity
[00:19:17] in the growth of written premiums and insurance
[00:19:20] revenues, reflecting the different approaches of companies
[00:19:24] in managing their insurance portfolios and dealing
[00:19:27] with market conditions. The Capital Market Authority
[00:19:31] approved the allocation results of the secondary offering
[00:19:35] of Asyad Shipping Company shares, whose total
[00:19:38] size after the increase exceeded 335
[00:19:42] million shares, which is equivalent to
[00:19:44] 6.34%

[00:20:08] approximately 19.4%
[00:20:11] of the required shares after the initial allocation,
[00:20:15] according to the terms stated in
[00:20:17] the prospectus.

[00:21:04] Globally, oil prices rose by
[00:21:06] about 1.5% after a sharp
[00:21:10] four-day decline. These prices came
[00:21:14] amid market reassessment of the future course
[00:21:17] of confrontation with Iran, following the announcement
[00:21:21] of the results of the US congressional elections, and the bet
[00:21:25] on activating diplomatic channels. In trading,
[00:21:28] Brent crude rose to exceed $95
[00:21:32] per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate crude
[00:21:36] approached $89, supported by official data confirming a decline
[00:21:40] in US energy inventories,
[00:21:44] coinciding with the peak of annual
[00:21:46] demand.
[00:21:52] The savings system, which is scheduled to be implemented
[00:21:55] in July of next year for non-Omani workers in the Sultanate
[00:21:58] of Oman, is one of the mechanisms aimed at enhancing the protection
[00:22:02] of workers' rights related to end-of-service benefits.
[00:22:06] The system is based on the employer paying a monthly
[00:22:09] subscription of 9% of the basic wage
[00:22:12] of the non-Omani worker. The employer bears
[00:22:16] this percentage and it is not deducted from the worker's
[00:22:20] wage.
[00:22:22] The savings system is based on the employer paying a monthly
[00:22:26] subscription of 9% of the basic wage
[00:22:29] of the non-Omani worker, and it is not deducted
[00:22:32] from his wage. The system replaces
[00:22:36] the end-of-service gratuity for the period of service
[00:22:41] of its implementation on July 19, 2027,
[00:22:45] while the worker's rights for the previous
[00:22:48] period remain reserved and are dealt with
[00:22:52] according to the options and provisions of the Social
[00:22:55] Protection Law. The system aims to enhance the protection
[00:22:59] of workers' rights and regulate their end-of-service entitlements
[00:23:03] by providing a clear mechanism for preserving and managing
[00:23:06] their savings and determining the financial obligations
[00:23:10] of employers. Its provisions apply to non-Omani
[00:23:13] workers in government administrative units, as
[00:23:17] well as non-Omani workers in private
[00:23:20] commercial sector establishments who are subject to the provisions
[00:23:24] of the Labor Law.
[00:23:29] to non-Omani workers who are not
[00:23:32] subject to the provisions of the Labor Law,
[00:23:37] workers. The system differentiates between the period
[00:23:40] of service prior to its implementation and
[00:23:43] the period thereafter, thereby preserving
[00:23:46] the rights due for each period. As for
[00:23:50] the end-of-service gratuity for the period prior to
[00:23:53] July 2027, it will be settled
[00:23:56] according to the established options, either by keeping
[00:24:00] it with the employer and paying it to the worker
[00:24:03] upon termination of his service according to the regulating
[00:24:07] provisions, or by paying it to the worker at the start
[00:24:10] of the system's application, or by depositing it in
[00:24:14] the worker's account with the Social Protection Fund. The system
[00:24:18] comes as part of the development
[00:24:21] system in the Sultanate of Oman, and in line
[00:24:24] with international trends and practices that enhance
[00:24:27] the protection of workers' rights, regulate the financing
[00:24:32] clearer and more sustainable mechanisms for dealing
[00:24:35] with end-of-service rights. It also reflects
[00:24:39] the transition from the accumulation of end-of-service gratuity
[00:24:42] as an obligation due at the end of the employment
[00:24:45] relationship to the formation of worker savings
[00:24:48] on a regular basis, a trend towards enhancing
[00:24:52] the pre-protection of rights and regulating
[00:24:55] them throughout the employment period, which achieves
[00:24:57] greater clarity for the worker
[00:25:01] and the employer. The economic bulletin has ended, and back to colleagues
[00:25:04] Youssef and Buthaina.
[00:25:09] Thank you, Fares. From the heart of the British
[00:25:13] capital, London, the Sultanate of Oman concludes its
[00:25:17] participation in the World Travel Market 2026 with a vision that
[00:25:21] goes beyond promoting its tourism components
[00:25:24] towards new international partnerships. Its tourism
[00:25:28] components also contribute to wider investment
[00:25:31] in technology and innovation to consolidate its presence
[00:25:34] on the world tourism map.
[00:25:37] On its third and final day, the Omani presence at the World
[00:25:40] Travel Market in London continues to strengthen the Sultanate
[00:25:44] of Oman's position on the international tourism map through
[00:25:47] new partnerships and initiatives that
[00:25:50] keep pace with digital transformations in the travel
[00:25:54] industry. Our participation in WTM London this
[00:25:57] year is in appreciation of the efforts of the Small
[00:26:00] and Medium Enterprises Development Authority in cooperation
[00:26:03] with the Ministry of Tourism. We participated through
[00:26:07] six institutions that we brought from
[00:26:10] Oman. Of course, we screened and selected them
[00:26:13] to be of high quality. The importance of our presence
[00:26:16] today is to send a clear message to all our partners
[00:26:20] about our real desire to expand and serve
[00:26:25] a global level. But our focus, of course,
[00:26:28] in Oman Visa is on the digital aspect. We have a specialized
[00:26:33] platform for search and booking
[00:26:36] operations. This platform today has more than 300
[00:26:40] partners, more than 150 hotels, and is linked with more
[00:26:43] than 80 airlines to facilitate the search and booking
[00:26:47] process for Oman's products and experiences.
[00:26:50] Among the most prominent stages of the 2026
[00:26:53] participation is the launch of a joint promotional
[00:26:57] campaign with Visa International aimed
[00:27:00] at attracting tourists through data-driven
[00:27:03] marketing, in addition to launching the Oman
[00:27:06] Tourism Platform, which uses artificial intelligence
[00:27:09] to facilitate trip
[00:27:13] about tourism experiences in the Sultanate of Oman.
[00:27:16] Of course, WTM is a very great opportunity
[00:27:19] for us to exchange experiences and get to know
[00:27:22] each other and have partnerships between
[00:27:25] us and other countries. This is a great opportunity
[00:27:29] that brings all countries together. This participation
[00:27:32] is not the first, and it certainly will not be the last. WTM
[00:27:35] is essential for the English market and the European market
[00:27:38] in general. This year's participation was very distinguished for the Sultanate
[00:27:44] for the efforts they put in, and there is great hope,
[00:27:47] God willing, for more progress and success. The participation
[00:27:50] also witnessed the announcement that Oman will host
[00:27:54] the Luxury Wedding Planners Conference in
[00:27:56] 2027,
[00:27:59] in a step aimed at enhancing events tourism
[00:28:02] and attracting new markets. Three
[00:28:06] days of meetings and partnerships in London
[00:28:10] summarize an Omani trend that goes beyond
[00:28:13] traditional promotion towards smarter tourism,
[00:28:17] more diverse experiences, and a wider presence in global
[00:28:20] markets. For Oman Television, Reem Al Nima,
[00:28:23] London.
[00:28:26] And now to Mohammed Al Qanoubi and what he has from sports
[00:28:29] news. Yes, Wathina,
[00:28:33] the sports
[00:28:33] bulletin.
