Who is the prime minister and sultan of the country that recently paid a state visit to India, Sultan Haitham bin Tarik?

From December 16, 2023, Sultan Haitham bin Tarik was in India on a state visit. The history of trade between India and Oman spans several millennia, and evidence from archaeological digs conducted in Oman during the Classical Age, which dates to approximately the third century BCE, has been uncovered. Afterwards, Oman maintained connections with Tamilakam on the Malabar Coast and with Gujarat, two Indian states. The Kutchi moneylenders like Jairam Shivji were a major source of income for the Sultans of Oman and Zanzibar. Kutchi Bhatias moved in large numbers from Kutch to Muscat and then to Zanzibar.
