在阿曼苏丹对中国进行历史性首次访问之际，随着北京寻求扩大其本土技术在海外的应用，中国和阿曼同意深化在北斗卫星导航、人工智能和数字经济领域的合作。
China and Oman have agreed to deepen cooperation in BeiDou satellite navigation, artificial intelligence and the digital economy, as Beijing seeks to expand the overseas applications of its home-grown technologies during the Sultan of Oman’s historic first visit to China.
分析人士表示，随着这个海湾国家在中东冲突中的战略重要性日益提升，这些协议反映了北京努力挖掘阿曼潜在基础设施机遇的举措。
Analysts said the agreements reflected Beijing’s efforts to tap potential infrastructure opportunities in Oman as the Gulf state’s strategic importance grew amid the Middle East conflict.
这些协议是在阿曼苏丹海赛姆·本·塔里克访华期间签署的，期间他在北京会见了中国国家主席习近平。
The agreements were signed during the trip to China by the Sultan of Oman, Haitham bin Tariq, during which he met President Xi Jinping in Beijing.
根据两国的联合声明，双方签署了14份谅解备忘录，涵盖中央银行数字货币、北斗卫星导航系统、空间技术和供应链投资等领域。
According to their joint statement, the two countries signed 14 memorandums of understanding, covering areas including central bank digital currencies, the BeiDou satellite navigation system, space technology and supply chain investment.
中国最高经济规划部门国家发展和改革委员会（发改委）周一表示，双方将确定北斗应用领域的合作方向——北斗是美国运营的全球定位系统（GPS）的中国国产替代系统——并建立推进伙伴关系的长效机制。
China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the country’s top economic planner, said on Monday that the two sides would identify areas for cooperation in the application of BeiDou – China’s home-grown alternative to the US-run Global Positioning System (GPS) – and establish a regular mechanism to advance their partnership.
发改委表示，两国还同意深化在数字经济与转型、信息技术、人才培养以及对科技初创企业和小微企业支持等方面的合作。
The two countries also agreed to deepen cooperation in the digital economy and transformation, information technology, talent development and support for tech start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises, according to the NDRC.
该机构表示，双方还将就数据和数字经济相关的立法、战略和政策交流专业经验。
They would also exchange expertise on legislation, strategies and policies related to data and the digital economy, the agency said.
这些协议出台之际，北京正加紧努力在海外推广其本土技术（从北斗卫星导航系统到数字人民币），以寻求扩大这些技术的国际采用。
The agreements come as Beijing has been stepping up efforts to promote its home-grown technologies overseas, from the BeiDou satellite navigation system to the digital yuan, as it seeks to expand their international adoption.
法国外贸银行（Natixis）亚太区首席经济学家艾丽西亚·加西亚-埃雷罗（Alicia Garcia-Herrero）表示，与阿曼在卫星导航和数字货币方面的合作将为中国带来渐进式收益。
Alicia Garcia-Herrero, chief Asia-Pacific economist at French bank Natixis, said cooperation with Oman on satellite navigation and the digital currency would bring incremental gains for China.
她说：“阿曼是一个赢家，”她指出，在海湾国家在伊朗战争期间寻求替代能源出口路线之际，该国的战略重要性日益提升。
“Oman is a winner,” she said, pointing to the country’s growing strategic importance as Gulf states sought alternative energy export routes amid the Iran war.
她表示，阿曼对地区外交的方法与中国相似，双方都与伊朗保持商业联系，同时平衡与其他地区大国的关系，这为更紧密的合作创造了机遇。
She said Oman’s approach to regional diplomacy was similar to China’s, with both maintaining commercial ties with Iran while balancing relations with other regional powers, creating opportunities for closer cooperation.
她说，随着卡塔尔和阿拉伯联合酋长国寻求开发通往阿曼的管道路线，中国也在密切关注潜在的基础设施合同。
China was also eyeing potential infrastructure contracts as Qatar and the United Arab Emirates looked to develop pipeline routes towards Oman, she said.
她表示：“对中国来说，与阿曼保持良好关系非常重要，”并补充说，北京可能意识到了该国能够吸引的大规模基础设施投资。
“It’s very important for China to be on good terms with Oman,” she said, adding that Beijing was likely aware of the substantial infrastructure investment the country could attract.
长期以来，中国一直寻求在海外推广其本土的北斗卫星导航系统，特别是在参与“一带一路”倡议的国家中。
China has long sought to promote its home-grown BeiDou satellite navigation system overseas, particularly in countries taking part in its Belt and Road Initiative.
北京于十年前开始在中东推广北斗，于2016年与沙特阿拉伯签署了一项合作协议，随后在突尼斯和伊拉克开展了进一步的倡议，以扩大该系统在地区的采用。
Beijing began promoting BeiDou in the Middle East a decade ago,g a cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia in 2016, followed by further initiatives in Tunisia and Iraq to expand the system’s regional adoption.
这些最新协议出台之际，阿曼正寻求根据其“2040愿景”计划实现依赖石油的经济多元化，重点发展非石油产业，包括旅游业、物流业和数字技术。
The latest agreements also come as Oman seeks to diversify its oil-dependent economy under its Vision 2040 plan, with a focus on developing non-oil industries, including tourism, logistics and digital technology.
在该国苏丹访问不到两周前，阿曼启动了国家数字经济计划第二阶段，旨在到2030年将该行业对GDP的贡献提升至15亿阿曼里亚尔（合39亿美元），并每年创造3,000个直接就业机会。
Less than two weeks before the sultan’s visit, Oman launched the second phase of its National Digital Economy Programme, aiming to boost the sector’s contribution to GDP to 1.5 billion Omani rials (US$3.9 billion) by 2030 and create 3,000 direct jobs annually.
根据阿曼政府数据，中国是阿曼最大的贸易伙伴，2025年双边贸易额达到约250亿美元。这种贸易仍然高度集中于能源，阿曼主要向中国出口原油、液化天然气及相关产品，同时进口机械、电气设备、车辆和其他制成品。
China is Oman’s largest trading partner, with bilateral trade reaching around US$25 billion in 2025, according to Omani government figures. This trade remains heavily centred on energy, with Oman mainly exporting crude oil, liquefied natural gas and related products to China, while importing machinery, electrical equipment, vehicles and other manufactured goods.
