Aleksandr Lukashenko at the National Museum of Oman, December 2024
MINSK, 6 October (BelTA) – Belarus has embarked on a project to build a new National History Museum in Minsk, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during the negotiations with Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said of Oman, welcoming the advice of “the most Belarusian Omani”, BelTA has learned.
“Taking into account the world’s best practices, we are now building a new National History Museum of Belarus. We would be grateful for the advice of the, one might say, most Belarusian Omani – the secretary general of the National Museum of Oman,” the head of state said.
Secretary General of the museum Jamal Al-Moosawi speaks Russian, and his mother is a native Belarusian. During the visit of the Belarusian president to Oman in December 2024, he gave Aleksandr Lukashenko a tour of the National Museum of Oman and expressed his readiness to share experience for the construction of the museum in Minsk. “I am well acquainted with Belarus and its history, as it is my motherland on my mother’s side. I am proud that our ancestors demonstrated patriotism and heroism in preserving their native land and its independence, sacrificing their lives for it during the Great Patriotic War. In our family in Oman, we carefully keep family documents that tell the story of our Belarusian ancestors,” he said in an interview with BelTA several years ago.
