Indonesia and Saudi Arabia Discuss Oil

President Joko Widodo welcomed Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Adel bin Ahmed al-Jubeir during his visit to Indonesia on October 20. "Both countries are committed to strengthening our cooperative agreement," said Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, adding that al-Jubeir's visit was a follow-up of Jokowi's visit to Saudi Arabia last September.

Retno said that as an outcome of the meeting, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia have agreed to pursue further cooperation in four different sectors: refineries, crude oil, petrochemicals and storage facilities. She said an Indonesian delegation would depart for Saudi Arabia in the next four weeks to secure the agreement.
