British Prime Minister made a quick trip to two Gulf countries

The visit attracted a lot of international attention, when Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were said to be the two countries most likely to increase oil production in OPEC +. Persuading these two countries to open more valves to pour oil into the market is therefore considered the most practical solution at this time to stabilize oil prices.

The UK is a country with a special influence on the Gulf countries. Due to historical and geographical factors, many of the Gulf country’s development policies are still known to have played a significant role in the minds of British minds. The British Prime Minister’s visit is therefore expected to give powerful voices to the Gulf countries to pour more oil into the market.

In Saudi Arabia, Boris Johnson’s achievement is a Memorandum of Understanding on the establishment of a Strategic Partnership Council between the two countries. However, there has been no specific statement regarding the possibility of Saudi Arabia increasing oil production entering the market. The British Prime Minister emphasized that the UK and many countries are now recognizing the very important role of the Gulf in stabilizing the current energy market.

But in the United Arab Emirates, the situation is similar. Abu Dhabi had previously wanted to increase its output beyond the current OPEC + agreements. However, so far, the data shows that the country is still fully complying with OPEC + agreements, despite calls from Western countries to increase production.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have always been known as allies of the United States, depending largely on security protection policies from Washington. But recently, with the US gradually withdrawing its involvement in the Middle East, the two countries are increasingly adopting more independent policies, strengthening relations with Russia or China. As recently, the United Arab Emirates, as a non-permanent member of the Security Council, abstained from voting in the draft resolution submitted by the US and Western countries aimed at Russia at the Council. security.
