DUBAI (Reuters) – Oman on Tuesday designated ministers of foreign affairs and finance, titles formerly held by the ruling Sultan, in a broad restructuring of its government administration, state TV said.
Badr bin Hamad bin Hamoud Al Busaidi became foreign minister and Sultan bin Salem bin Saeed al-Habsi became finance minister.
Oman previously had a minister responsible for financial affairs and a minister responsible for foreign affairs, whose briefs were overseen by the Sultan.
