With the decision we have adopted, we will guarantee the stability of the oil market”, announced this Thursday the Sector Vice-president for the Economic Area and People’s Power Minister for Petroleum, Tareck El Aissami, after his participation in the 14th OPEC+ Ministerial Meeting.

During his speech, the Sector Vice-president stated that the OPEC+ mechanism:
“has allowed us to overcome the difficult situation that the Covid-19 pandemic has caused and Venezuela played its leading role in seeking the stability of the world energy market and there we are at the forefront, as always, riding with the leadership of the Bolivarian Revolution, of our president Maduro and together with the Venezuelan people.”
