As an Omani and as an Arab, I am very honored and proud of this scientific title awarded by a European University like the International University in Vienna, and also by a highly reputed assembly like the Europe Business Assembly.
Dr. Al-Ghazali added, that all the Grace is due to God and that the international appreciation belongs to His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said, may God give him long life and prosperity, who laid the proper foundation for us Omanis to be heard and seen by the rest of the world. Without the penetrating and strategic vision of His Majesty in building the modern Omani renaissance, especially in its educational and scientific course, we would not have been able to emerge to the other world that in return started to accept us, debate with us, and appreciate what we do in their universities, institutions and assemblies of different fields.
Dr. Ahmed Al Ghazali added; I felt a distinguished and fine appreciation during this scientific ceremony attended by business, scientific and cultural elites from around the world.
