Dmitry Peskov, the presidential spokesperson, explained Russian President Vladimir Putin's frequent telephone conversations with Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, to the interaction between the two countries in the world oil market.
"This is not about disagreements, but about the interaction between the two countries, the two largest oil producers, those countries whose joint actions can have a stabilizing effect on energy markets," the Kremlin representative told reporters on Monday.
According to him, "markets are mobile". "We are at a very active stage of interaction, exchange of opinions, so it requires regular contacts," Peskov said. Answering a question of whether it is possible to expect new initiatives of two countries, the Kremlin representative noted that "nothing was announced". He refused to talk about whether Putin had discussed with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia a possible revision of the OPEC+ deal, explaining that he couldn't add anything to the Kremlin press service's report on the content of the talks.
Putin held two telephone conversations with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud last week, during which, according to Kremlin press reports, there was an extensive exchange of views on the implementation of existing OPEC+ agreements.
