Kuwait City: Minister of Oil Tariq Sulaiman Al-Roumi reaffirmed Wednesday Kuwait's steadfast support for all efforts aimed at enhancing the stability of the oil market. He also reiterated Kuwait's commitment to supporting a policy of cooperation to ensure the sustainability of market balance and secure energy supplies, according to a press statement issued by the Ministry of Oil.

According to Kuwait News Agency, Minister Al-Roumi made these remarks during his participation in three virtual meetings held today: the 60th OPEC + Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee, the 39th OPEC + Ministerial Meeting, and the 191st OPEC Ministerial Conference. The Minister of Oil stated that the meetings are being held at a critical time for global markets amid increasing challenges.
