Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Salman, who was appointed Saudi Energy Minister, said on September 9 that there was no change in the country's oil policy pillars and that the OPEC-led reduction in production agreement would continue. He also indicated that OPEC Plus, which includes OPEC plus non-member oil-producing countries such as Russia, will continue for a long time.
