Lukashenko invites "the most Belarusian Omani" to share his experience in creating history museum

During talks with Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko briefed him on the construction of the National Museum of the History of Belarus in Minsk. The head of state noted that the advice of the man he called "the most Belarusian Omani" would be useful in this work, according to BELTA.

"Currently, drawing on the best international practices, we are building the new National Museum of the History of Belarus. We would be grateful for the advice of, one might say, the most Belarusian Omani – the Secretary General of the National Museum of Oman," the head of state said.

The Secretary General of the Museum, Jamal al-Musawi, speaks Russian; his mother was born in Belarus. During the Belarusian President's visit to Oman in December 2024, he gave Alexander Lukashenko a tour of the National Museum of Oman and expressed his willingness to share his experience in the construction of a museum in Minsk.

"I am well acquainted with Belarus and its history, as it is my homeland on my mother's side. I am proud that our ancestors demonstrated patriotism and heroism in preserving our native land and its independence, giving their lives for it during the Great Patriotic War. Our family in Oman carefully preserves family documents that tell the story of the lives of our Belarusian ancestors," he noted several years ago in an interview with BelTA.
