Sustained dialogue key for investment, strengthening energy resilience: Puri at OPEC-India dialogue
The OPEC-India dialogue is a cooperative bilateral framework that started in 2015.
India and OPEC emphasized the importance of ongoing engagement between energy producers and consumers at the Seventh High-Level Meeting of the OPEC-India Energy Dialogue. Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri highlighted that India, as a rapidly growing major economy, will continue to be a key driver of global energy demand in the coming decades.
Puri stated that sustained dialogue between producers and consumers is crucial for fostering investment, enhancing energy resilience, and guaranteeing reliable energy supplies for global growth and development.
OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais echoed the sentiment, stressing that OPEC recognizes India's growing importance within the current global energy landscape and that dialogue with India is a top priority. The OPEC-India Energy Dialogue, established in 2015, serves as a forum for discussions on market stability, transparency, cooperation, and long-term energy security.
During the latest meeting, Puri reiterated the complementary and mutually beneficial relationship between India and OPEC. The next dialogue will take place in Vienna, Austria, on a date to be determined.
