Besides the annexure to the MoU on military cooperation, the agreements were on legal and judicial cooperation, tourism, health, peaceful uses of outer space, among others.
There was also a pact on mutual visa exemption for diplomatic, special, service and official passport. An MoU was signed between the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses and National Defence College of Sultanate of Oman on academic and scholarly cooperation sectors, and another MoU was signed between the Foreign Service Institute and the Oman Diplomatic Institute.
