In the meeting, His Majesty, may God preserve him, stressed the importance of consolidating the authentic Omani principles and values derived from the teachings of our true religion, and urged families to take the hands of their children and give them a good upbringing, in view of the changes in behaviours and concepts that the world is witnessing. He also advised the consolidation of some of their concepts, and the exploitation of the principles of human rights. Including justifications for imposing visions, programmes and behaviours that are not consistent with the prevailing principles.
