Oman has decided to ‘delay’ its ambitious rail project connecting the Sultanate with the rest of the Gulf countries to meet the schedule of other Gulf countries, a top official has said. Contract with a private consultancy company - supposed to manage the rail project - has been cancelled as well. “The ministry of transport and communications has not cancelled the project but only delayed it as other Gulf countries have decided to stop work on the project,” Mohammed Al Shuaili, Director of the Minister of Transport and Communications Office told.
