AEO, OPEC chiefs discuss boosting cooperation, strategic alignment

KUWAIT, Nov 9 (KUNA) -- Secretary General of the Arab Energy Organization (AEO) Jamal Al-Loghani on Sunday discussed with OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al-Ghais ways to strengthen cooperation between both organizations.
AEO, formerly known as the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC), told KUNA that Al-Loghani also reviewed with Al-Ghais the prospects of boosting joint action in light of the organization's new strategic orientation, which aims at upgrading its activities to keep pace with global energy shifts.
Al-Loghani affirmed that AEO seeks to act as a pan-Arab energy organization primarily focused on oil and gas while expanding to wider energy domains, as Al-Ghais praised the reform steps and affirmed OPEC's readiness to support all efforts toward this transformation. (end) km.ahm
