Talking to the virtual meeting, Mr. Pradhan urged OPEC countries to take a deep look at the rapidly changing global oil and gas sector due to COVID-19 and revisit the ongoing exchanges so that energy challenges, particularly in the oil sector, can be jointly addressed. He also reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal of not letting a purely economic agenda define globalisation and also stressed on the need for a consumption-led energy demand recovery, oil price affordability for the long-term sustainability of crude oil markets and enhancing energy access.
OPEC in a tweet said, "The #OPEC Secretariat hosted the 4th High-level OPEC-India Energy Dialogue via videoconference to discuss the impact of #COVID19 on oil markets and security of energy supply for the global market. The collaboration between OPEC & India represents a key element in energy security."
