OPEC SG: Kazakhstan is an important player in the global energy market

Kazakhstan plays an important role in ensuring global energy security. Its rich natural resources and strategically important geographic location have made the country a key supplier not only for Europe, but also for Asia and Central Asia. OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais stated this in an exclusive interview with Kazinform Agency correspondents on the sidelines of the KazEnergy Forum.

«Kazakhstan is an important global player. It has around 30 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, which is almost 2% of the global reserves. So, I think Kazakhstan is well positioned also for the future to continue to play this important role in becoming an energy supplier for the world: with stability in the government under the wise leadership of His Excellency President Tokayev, and its ability to attract foreign investors into the country to continue working with the local companies,» noted OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais.
