At the outset of the meeting, Mr. Ahmed Ammar conveyed the greetings of the NOC Board of Directors Chairman, Eng. Masoud Suleman, to the delegation members.

In turn, the Indian delegation conveyed the Government of India’s commitment to strengthening economic ties and noted the potential for Indian companies to contribute to oil and renewable energy projects. They also invited the NOC and its subsidiaries to exchange visits, and reaffirmed their readiness to provide all necessary facilities and support for training and capacity-building programs.
