Casa Árabe hosts a meeting between the Omani Lawyers Association and Spanish business leaders 

The meeting, organized with the cooperation of the Embassy of Oman in Madrid, was held on September 17 and served as a meeting point with representatives of the Spanish business community, with the goal of exploring potential for collaboration.

This morning, Casa Árabe hosted a meeting between a delegation from the Omani Lawyers Association (OLA), including members of its Board of Directors and Omani lawyers from various legal disciplines and several representatives of Spain’s business community. The visit forms part of Casa Árabe’s “Country Focus” activities for this half of the year, which are focused on Oman. 

Spain and Oman established diplomatic relations in 1972, marking the beginning of cooperation which has grown stronger over the decades. In 2004, Spain opened its embassy in Muscat, and two years later Oman had appointed its first ambassador to Madrid. Since then, both countries have strengthened their political and economic contacts, holding rounds of bilateral consultations and cooperating in sectors such as water management, renewable energy, tourism and trade. 

The Omani Lawyers Association (OLA) is the professional bar association in Oman, established in 2007. As a non-profit association, it represents the profession before the authorities and society, channeling its activities through committees specializing in training, professional development, gender equality, professional affairs and legislative innovation.
