Captain Ibrahim Traoré, President of Burkina Faso, met with Abdulsalam Bin Mohammad Al Murshidi, President of the High Authority of the Sovereign Fund of the Sultanate of Oman, on August 27, 2025. The meeting aimed to solidify economic cooperation between the two nations, particularly in the mining and agriculture sectors.
According to Abdulsalam Bin Mohammad Al Murshidi, the Sovereign Fund of Oman plans to invest in various sectors in Burkina Faso. “We will proceed to sign more agreements and we also hope to increase trade between Burkina Faso and the Sultanate of Oman,” he stated.
This development aligns with President Traoré’s efforts to diversify Burkina Faso’s international partnerships and boost its economy. Under his leadership, the country has prioritized economic self-reliance, agricultural revival, and resource sovereignty. Traoré’s government has implemented policies like the “Offensive Agricole” to increase food production and reduce reliance on imports ¹.
The meeting between Traoré and Al Murshidi highlights Burkina Faso’s growing appeal to international investors and its commitment to strengthening economic ties with other nations. As the country continues to navigate global economic challenges, this partnership is expected to contribute to its economic growth and development.
