ABU DHABI, May 4 (KUNA) -- Kuwait will support OPEC's decision to achieve stability in the oil market, said Kuwaiti Minister of Oil and Minister of State for National Assembly Affairs Dr. Ali Al-Omair said here Sunday.
On the sideline of the two-day high-level meeting on climate change in Abu Dhabi, Al-Omair said that Kuwait will support OPEC's efforts to create a comfortable atmosphere for both oil suppliers and consumers.
