The two parties stressed the need for all States participating in the Convention to adhere to the agreed reduction rates in full and on a continuing basis.
The preparations for the meeting between OPEC member states and producing countries outside it to be held in Austria, Vienna, November 30, 2017, and means of working to support the reasons for the success of the meeting were discussed for the benefit of all of the two countries, and exporting and importing countries at the same time.

Engineer Al-Falih also discussed with Malaysian Prime Minister the most important aspects of bilateral cooperation in the fields of energy, industry and investment, especially the progress made between Aramco and Petronas to implement Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAPID) Pengerang Integrated Complex.

The two countries welcomed Saudi Aramco's participation with Malaysia's Petronas to develop and own this giant and integrated complex for refining and petrochemicals in the state of Johor, Malaysia, which will significantly contribute to supporting the long-term economic partnership between the two countries and enhancing their cooperation in the field of energy.
