Novak: meeting with Saudi Arabian Energy Minister in June is possible

Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak believes that a bilateral meeting with the new head of the Minister of Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources of Saudi Arabia, Khaled al-Faleh, in late June as part of the G20 meeting of energy ministers is possible and appropriate.

"The G20 meeting will be held on June 30, in the framework of the meeting we can hold bilateral meetings with ministers, including the Minister of Saudi Arabia. I do not exclude it, I think it would be appropriate," he said.

"If there will be some other international events participated by the Energy Minister of Saudi Arabia, I think a bilateral meeting is possible," RIA Novosti cited Novak as saying.
