El Aissami: World economy recovery projections for 2021 are encouraging

The Sector Vice-president of the Economy and the People’s Power Minister for Petroleum, Tareck El Aissami, highlighted this Thursday that, “the projections for the recovery of the world economy for 2021 are encouraging and the OPEC+ countries must continue to be alert to the negative effects of COVID-19 that continues to impact world economies and the global energy industry.”

This was highlighted through his Twitter account, @TareckPSUV, within the framework of the 22nd Meeting of the OPEC+ Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee held this Thursday by videoconference from Vienna, Austria.

In another message, the head of Petroleum highlighted the 60 years of the creation of OPEC, “this 60th anniversary, Venezuela renews its commitment to strengthen our common agenda and vindicate the historical objective of OPEC: to be an instrument for liberation and for the development. Recalling Pérez Alfonzo: “We are united, we are making history”.

On September 14, 1960, in Baghdad, Iraq, five visionaries came together thanks to the push of the Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Pérez Alfonzo, and the Saudi, Abdullah Al Tariki, who devised the creation of OPEC, to safeguard the legitimate interests of each country and thus guarantee order and stability in the international oil market.

“In the words of Juan Pablo Pérez Alfonso: We are united, we are making history. From Venezuela we say that OPEC is more future than past,” said El Aissami.
