United Nations/UNI: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has extended his condolences to Oman over the death of the Gulf country's sultan, UN spokesman said on Sunday.

The statement highlighted the sultan's leadership, saying he "led Oman for 50 years and spearheaded the transformation of Oman into a prosperous and stable country."

"He was also committed to spreading messages of peace, understanding and coexistence in the region and globally, earning the respect of his people and those in the region and beyond," it said.

Guterres paid tribute to the sultan's "enduring contributions in the field of regional and international diplomacy," it said.
