Origins and spirit
Established in 2021 and sealed in a joint ceremony in Muscat, the Order consolidates years of cooperation between the Academy and institutions of the Sultanate. It recognizes diplomats, educators and entrepreneurs whose patient, sustained work draws the two peoples closer, and it now stands among the Bilateral Orders of Fraternal Integration.
Each conferral bears the seal and signature of the President of the Academy, following the opinion of the Order Council, and is entered as an official record summary in the Honors Almanac.
What the Order recognizes
- Diplomatic and institutional cooperation between Brazil and Oman.
- Advancement of educational and scientific exchange between the two countries.
- Preservation and dissemination of the cultural heritage of both peoples.
- Unblemished public conduct, recognized in both countries.
