Poland and Saudi Arabia discuss further energy cooperation

The consultations covered the most important areas of bilateral cooperation, with a particular focus on the current international situation. Emphasising the importance that both countries attach to developing political contacts, the ministers expressed satisfaction with their strong growth. They agreed about the need for a continued fulfillment of a bilateral economic cooperation potential, including in particular the energy sector – informed Polish MFA.
