Al Marzouq:
OAPEC a living
example
of Arab
cooperation
and joint
action
setting up joint ventures in the various aspects
of the petroleum industry to be run by all
OAPEC members or those interested’. This is in
addition to preparing specialised technical and
economic studies tackling the most important
developments in the oil, gas, and energy
industry, and their implications for the member
countries in order to contribute to resolving
the problems and challenges that face the Arab
petroleum industry on one hand and to help
achieving stability in the global markets on
the other hand. He also highlighted OAPEC’s
role in organising conferences, specialised
scientific seminars, scientific research awards,
and annual coordinating meetings between
specialists in the member countries and
Arab and international organisations working
in the petroleum industry. HE Al Marzouq
added that OAPEC also contributes to raising
awareness and promoting Arab petroleum
literacy through its distinguished publications,
as well as, its positive and fruitful cooperation
with international organisations and research
centres specialised in energy, oil and gas.
The Minister stressed that Kuwait’s
embrace of OAPEC and other Arab joint action
organisations’ headquarters stems from its
keenness on boosting and reviving joint Arab
action in all aspects while providing the best
facilities, as well as, financial and moral support
to do their businesses and serve the interests of
the Arab countries.
