Saudi Aramco's president and chief executive officer, Abdallah S. Jum'ah, has called for closer cooperation between his company - the world's largest oil producer - and India's petroleum and industrial sectors.
In a speech before the Petrotech 2005 conference in New Delhi, Jum'ah said that Saudi Aramco would continue to work with its Indian counterparts "to identify commercial opportunities in the downstream sector that make sense for the two companies involved, as well as the Indian consumer."
Jum'ah confirmed that Saudi Aramco was continuing to explore "the possibility of establishing a joint partnership in India's refining and marketing sector."
