Oman, Pakistan Sign Marine Border Agreement

Oman's Foreign Affairs Minister Youssef bin Alawi bin Abdullah and his Pakistani counterpart Abdul Sattar signed a maritime border agreement in the Omani capital last Monday. The border pact apparently demarcated around 146 nautical miles of territorial water. Oman and Pakistan both have shorelines on the Arabian Sea. Oman recently ratified a border pact outlining most of the Arab state's border with the United Arab Emirates.
