UAE Is Ready To Cooperate With Saudi Arabia To Face Possible Disruption To Oil Supplies: Suhail Al Mazrouei
Umer Jamshaid Published September 16, 2019 | 11:00 PM
ABU DHABI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 16th Sep, 2019) Suhail bin Mohammed Faraj Faris Al Mazrouei, UAE Minister of Energy and Industry, has affirmed the UAE's full readiness to cooperate with Saudi Arabia in facing any possible disruption to oil supplies.
"We have reached out to Saudi Arabia following the terrorist attack against two Saudi Aramco oil facilities to provide technical and logistical support. We are one team and our cooperation is continuing," said Al Mazrouei in a statement to the Emirates news Agency, WAM, on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, ADCCI, trade and business meeting between the UAE and Indonesia.
Al Mazrouei stressed his confidence in the ability of Saudi Arabia to overcome the consequences of this incident.
Saudi Arabia has a significant influence on the global energy sector because it produces about 10 percent of the world's oil, he added, noting that the incident will affect the global oil market and could increase oil prices by over 10 percent, as Aramco is the world's largest refinery and petrochemical complex.
Al Mazrouei further said that it is premature to call an emergency meeting of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC, without the request of Saudi Arabia, stressing the UAE's commitment to OPEC’s decisions and affirming that it will not take any related action without the organisation’s approval.
He also praised the professional work of Aramco’s emergency response teams in handling the incident and their successful response to fires, which resulted in no casualties, reflecting the readiness of Saudi Arabia to deal with such emergencies.
