Abstract

The article highlights Oman's positive neutrality approach as a constant in its foreign policy, which has earned the trust of several international and regional parties. This approach is a cornerstone of Oman's foreign policy, where the Sultanate follows a quiet and non-confrontational diplomatic approach, avoiding entanglement in regional conflicts. The article emphasizes the effectiveness of Oman's mediation model in resolving regional and international conflicts, where Oman played a crucial role in the Iranian nuclear file negotiations, leading to the 2015 Vienna Agreement between Iran and the P5+1. Omani diplomacy also made strenuous efforts to find a solution to the Yemeni crisis, despite local and regional obstacles. In conclusion, the article points to the challenges facing Oman's unique mediation approach in an emerging regional environment that encourages investment in mediation in regional and international conflicts.
