RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro met Sunday with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Salman, a day after talks with Iran’s supreme leader focused on the slump in global oil prices.
The official Saudi Press Agency reported that the leaders discussed areas of co-operation between the two OPEC-member countries and ways to promote bilateral ties. The brief statement did not elaborate, though it said Saudi Oil Minister Ali Naimi and Venezuelan Oil Minister Asdrubal Chavez were also at the meeting.
Oil prices have plunged more than 55 per cent since June to less than $50 a barrel, placing a severe strain on Venezuela and other oil-producing countries like Iran. Saudi Arabia has strong financial reserves to weather lower oil prices, but Venezuela’s cash-strapped government is among the cartel’s most vulnerable. Analysts estimate that Venezuela needs oil at $110 per barrel to continue meeting its budgetary obligations.

AHMEDABAD, India – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday called for a rapid expansion of U.S.-India trade and commercial ties as he attended an international investment conference ahead of visit by President Barack Obama later this month.
