2025年2月国际郑和学会会长张露博士和新加坡驻阿曼前任大使邓腾达先生作为联合团长，带领郑和学会代表团访问阿曼苏丹国，来自世界各地的郑和学会代表们齐聚探索这个神秘和平的中东国家，它拥有四千年历史文化，有着“千堡之国”的美誉，也是“世界咽喉”上的哨兵——扼守着世界上最重要的石油输出通道波斯湾的霍尔木兹海峡，一如既往地低调安宁。

郑和与阿曼自古有着千丝万缕的历史渊源，阿曼不仅是阿拉伯半岛最古老的国家之一，更是海上丝绸之路的重要节点，郑和的航海壮举跨越万里，船队如同一条连接东西方文明的纽带，将遥远的国度紧紧相连。这不仅是地理上的跨越，更是文化、经济、科技等多方面的交流与融合。

叙友谊之情、谋合作之策

2月9日“2025第四届郑和与海丝文化经贸论坛”在阿曼苏丹国首都马斯喀特千禧大酒店隆重举办，国际郑和学会会长张露博士率领规模宏大的代表团出席，汇聚来自新加坡、中国、阿曼及东盟的政府官员，企业家，行业专家学者，投资人等，此次论坛以“同聚为之，通贸天下”为主题，由国际郑和学会、阿曼国家遗产旅游部、阿曼商会联合举办，共同探讨海上丝绸之路的历史价值及当代意义，并积极促进经贸文化、教育、科技等多领域之间合作。

新加坡前驻阿曼大使、国际郑和学会国际关系部主任邓腾达先生致开幕词，国际郑和学会会长张露博士发表精彩主题演讲，“阿曼是阿拉伯半岛最古老国家，郑和曾经多次到达，这里是《一千零一夜》中航海冒险家辛巴达的故乡，唐朝时阿曼著名航海家阿布.欧贝德驾驶木帆船穿越惊涛骇浪，这是阿拉伯人首次抵达广州，带去亚麻、棉花和乳香，开启了阿中贸易交流序幕”。

Maritime Silk Road Zheng He Global Tour·Visit to the Sultanate of Oman. The 2025 Maritime Silk Road Zheng He Global Tour to Oman concludes successfully

Oman National Museum Special Privilege Access – Private curated Tour for the Zheng He Society

In February 2025, Dr. Zhang Lu, President of the International Zheng He Society, and Mr. Deng Tengda, previous Singaporean Ambassador to Oman, co-led a delegation from the International Zheng He Society to the Sultanate of Oman. Members from across the globe gathered to explore this enigmatic and peaceful Middle Eastern nation—a land steeped in 4,000 years of history, renowned as the "Land of a Thousand Forts".

The historical ties between Zheng He and Oman run deep. As one of the Arabian Peninsula's oldest countries, Oman was a pivotal node on the Maritime Silk Road. Zheng He's voyages—spanning tens of thousands of miles—transformed his fleet into a living bridge between Eastern and Western civilizations, binding distant lands through not just geography but also cultural exchange, economic collaboration, and technological synergy.

On February 9th, the 4th Zheng He and the Maritime Silk Road Cultural and Economic Forum was successfully held in the Grand Millennium Hotel in Muscat, the capital of Sultanate of Oman. Led by Dr. Zhang Lu, President of the International Zheng He Society, the event with government officials, entrepreneurs, scholars, and investors from Singapore, China, Oman and ASEAN. Discussions focused on the Silk Road's historical legacy and modern trade, education, and techhology collaboration.

Mr. Deng Tengda, previous Singaporean Ambassador to Oman and director of the International Relations Department of the International Zheng He Society, delivered an opening address. Dr. Zhang Lu, President of the International Zheng He Society, highlighted Oman's historical significance and its connection to trade, citing Muscat the birthplace of Sinbad of “One Thousand and One Nights fame” and Abu Obeid's arrival in Guangzhou.

The speakers, including H.E Eng. Ibrahim bin Said bin Khalaf Al Kharusi, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism fo Heritage Affairs, Mr Suliman Khamis Al Siyabi, Minister Advisor for Real Estate & Investment, Badat al Shukaili , Oman Future Cities Expert, Mr. Michael Zong, Executive Chairman of the Hong Kong Association of Small and Medium Listed Companies, delivered wonderful speech.

At the forum, Dr. Zhang Lu presented H.E. Eng. Ibrahim Said Al Kharusi, Undersecretary for Heritage Affairs of Oman, with a precious purple clay ceramic disc—a national gift symbolizing the enduring China-Oman friendship.

It is worthwhile to note that the global launch ceremony of the English version of Dr. Zhang Lu’s latest masterpiece "LEGEND OF THE MIRROR" was held in Oman where the Black Stone shipwreck was built. It is of great significance. The release of this English version has attracted widespread attention and expectations from the media and readers. The Chinese version "The Legend of mirror " is sold on Google in 75 countries around the world.

The forum strengthened China-Singapore-Oman collaboration in trade, culture, and education, laying groundwork for long-term cooperation. Zheng He's ethos of peaceful openness remains vital in today's global economy. As maritime culture, infrastructure, and tourism cooperation deepen, Oman is poised to become a key international hub, boosting regional growth. The ocean's legacy is inclusivity. Just as Zheng He's voyages connected civilizations centuries ago, modern multilateral partnerships must empower shared progress toward a brighter future.

The meeting between Foreign Ministry, Undersecretary for Political Affairs H.E Sheikh Khalifa bin Ali bin Issa Alharthy and President Dr. Zhang Lu of the International Zheng He Society was widely reported by mainstream media in Oman, including the official media of the Oman Foreign Ministry, Muscat Daily, Oman News Agency, Observer, Oman Times, Arabian Stories, and Oman News.
