President Rumen Radev will present the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Sultanate of Oman, Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, with the Bulgarian head of State's Honorary Sign here on Friday. The Omani Foreign Minister is paying an official visit to Bulgaria, the first by a minister of foreign affairs of that country since the establishment of bilateral ties. 

The President's press secretariat said that the award is for the Minister's decisive role in the release of the Bulgarian crew of the hijacked Galaxy Leader and for Oman's overall contribution to peace and stability in the Middle East.

The Galaxy Leader, a Bahamas-flagged vessel, was hijacked by Houthis off the Yemeni Red Sea coast in November 2023. The sailors, including two Bulgarian nationals, were released more than a year later, in January 2025.
