Sultan Qaboos Bin Said of Oman, currently in Germany for medical treatment, has addressed his people on the occasion of the approaching 44th anniversary of the "renaissance march."

Sultan Qaboos, in his statement marking the 44th anniversary of his assumption of the throne, indicated that results of his medical treatment were good and his condition warranted "follow-up according to the medical schedule during the coming period of time." He expressed deep gratitude to the Omani people for their sincere sentiments of compassion.
