Oman’s Sultan Haitham bin Tariq has announced new directives to create up to 32,000 full and part-time government jobs, according to Oman's state news agency.

These will include government subsidies for those entering the workforce for the first time, it said Tuesday.

Oman's state television showed the sultan chairing a meeting on youth employment.

"The youth are the nation's wealth, its unfailing resource ... We will make sure we listen to them, sense their needs, interests and aspirations," the Sultan said Tuesday.
