Botswana, Oman Sign Energy and Mining Deals

Pro-government narrative

Botswana's Oman deals — covering solar energy, critical mineral exploration and infrastructure — prove the country is actively building a smarter, more resilient economic future. Opening a permanent embassy in Muscat and launching direct flights signals a serious long-term partnership, not just a one-off transaction. Expanding into copper, lithium and rare earth minerals positions Botswana to lead Africa's critical minerals boom rather than remain hostage to diamond price swings.
