To the people complaining that this is just for oil, so what? Like it or not, the world runs on oil and if we need to have a base in the Middle East to help protect our interests then so be it. Anyway, it’s not just about oil… It’s also important to have allies in the area. Oman, like the report said, is friendly with both Iran and Saudi Arabia and having an ally that is capable of mediating between the two sides may very come in handy in the future. For example, Oman recently helped with the release of 2 British-Iranian political prisoners who were arrested in Iran years ago.The UK also have ambitious trade plans in the Gulf, not just oil but various other goods (estimated to add £1.6billion to the UK economy per year). Long story short, it’s nothing new to have military partnerships with friendly nations that help enable your country to trade and grow. Not everything is just about oil. Some of it yes, but saying it’s all about oil I s just untrue.

[@CaliPlays5651]

But it’s not your oil… it belongs to Oman and you guys are obviously using them to get it. You and the yanks just don’t get it.

[@davidhouseman4328]

@@CaliPlays5651 so first off, this isn't about Oman specifically who have relatively little, but the region. Secondly the countries don't want to keep there oil they want to sell it.

[@alltheothernamesweretaken8826]

@@CaliPlays5651 The oil isnt being stolen. OQ (formerly oil company of Oman) is owned by the Omani government. The government owns all of the major oil and gas exporters. Foreign countries have their hands in Oman’s oil, of course, but that’s normal to have foreign investment coming in especially when it’s involving natural resources. According to the OEC, China received 45% of Omans exports of oil last year, the Uk received 0.24% Omans yearly oil exports. British owned or operated oil and gas companies do have shares in Omani oil but so do the US, Chinese, Saudis, Qatar, UAE etc. Indian workers make up about half of the entire workforce in Oman. It’s called foreign investment. Oil makes up about 70% of Omans government revenue and makes up about 30% of their GDP. In other words, they are an oil state. Much like other oil states, Oman are trying to reduce their reliance on their oil. To do this they have to accept foreign help because they have put all of their eggs into one basket in the fact that they went all out in the oil and gas sector and everything else lacked behind. This is where their UK partnership comes in. The uk brings in foreign investment into industries other that oil and gas and in return they get a strategic partnership with Omans government. It’s how international relations work. This isn’t the olden days where you could just rock up and take what you want. It’s a fair process where each party benefit. Like I said, Oman are responsible for the vast majority of their oil exports, yes foreign companies have shares those companies but Oman still own and receive the vast majority of the revenue. Compare this to what countries like China do with their debt traps and you start to realise why a lot of oil states would rather do business with western countries.
