The Minister of Energy said, during his response to a question by a participant in the 44th World Conference on Energy Economics in Riyadh: “We in the Kingdom are also merciful, and we are not devoid of emotions or humanity. Ask our friends in Ukraine.”
He added that everything that happened and is happening now regarding the so-called sanctions, embargoes, weak investments, and others will result in only one thing, which is a lack of energy supplies in all its forms when it is most needed.
He added that this is what he fears and what he does not want to be responsible for, and that this is what he used to warn people about and is still warning about, and that all this expected path for the future may be lost due to ignorance, and this is his personal opinion and he is not politicized.
And he added, saying that he promised that things would be better than what can be obtained, and that is his personal opinion, and he is not politicized, and as a responsible citizen in this world, he wants people to understand that what is happening today may lead to – hoping that he is wrong, but he hopes – that it will not lead to a few Power supplies when you need it most.
This came during the opening of the 44th International Conference on Energy Economics in Riyadh, whose activities extend over 4 days, including meetings between the most prominent energy specialists around the world.
