Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), UAE’s biggest energy producer, is seeking Indian companies for partnership in its ambitious USD 45 billion downstream petrochemical expansion plans. ADNOC CEO Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, during a virtual session Prime Minister Narendra Modi had with global energy chief executives on Monday evening, sought opportunities to strengthen the UAE-India energy relationships, a company statement said. Speaking at the roundtable, Al Jaber said India has always been and will always remain one of the UAE’s closest friends and one of its most important trading partners.
Strategic ties between the two nations, he said, have strengthened in recent years, particularly in the field of energy.
