Frame Diagonal Sudoku (Fun With Sudoku #196)

Frame-Diagonal Sudoku type appeared in the 2nd round of the World Puzzle Federation Sudoku Grand Prix 2016. I created two Sudoku puzzles of Frame Diagonal Sudoku type for practice for this championship.  One puzzle is already published with the title Frame-Diagonal Sudoku (Daily Sudoku League #158) and this is the second puzzle that I am publishing now. In fact, this is the 1st one that I created. This is having all the external hints given. While creating the next Frame Diagonal Sudoku type I decided to omit a few external hints to make this Sudoku more interesting. In fact, both of these puzzles are tough and have an interesting solving path.
This Frame Diagonal Sudoku, I am posting in the Fun With Sudoku Series as the 196th puzzle in this series. Can you solve this Sudoku puzzle?
