The Kingdom has always remained consistent—not only in its messages, but also in implementing policies and delivering tangible results on the ground, Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman stated.

 

Speaking at the 9th OPEC International Seminar in Vienna, the Saudi Minister emphasized that any energy transition that does not contribute to reducing poverty or improving energy access in developing countries is doomed to fail.

 

The energy transition must be inclusive and should not exclude anyone, he added, pointing out that 1.2 billion people currently suffer from energy poverty, while more than two billion rely on dangerous conventional fuels for cooking.

 

He added that economics and innovation, not ideology, should be the guiding principles, warning that ideological approaches will lead to a dead end.

 

Sustainability concept must be expanded to include economic and commercial dimensions, Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said.
