He commended the Sultan for his effective leadership of the Muslim Ummah and credited him with the unity of the community sustained under his watch.
The Sultan during the call pledged his commitment to the continued existence of the country as one and assured the President of the support of the Sultanate in the ongoing efforts to tackle the challenges facing the nation.
