PetroVietnam to boost cooperation with Sudan’s oil giant

A delegation from the Sudan National Petroleum Corporation (SUDAPET), led by its CEO Salah Wahbi Hassan, has arrived for a visit to Vietnam to further promote the cooperation with the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam).

At the delegation’s reception in Hanoi on February 8, State Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan confirmed the state’s support for cooperation between the two groups and hoped the African nation will create favourable conditions for PetroVietnam to invest on its territories.

Mrs. Doan added that the cooperation between SUDAPET and PetroVietnam will help strengthen the traditional friendship between the two countries.

CEO Hassan thanked Vietnam for supporting Sudan in recent years, particularly after the former was a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.

He expressed his belief that Vietnam will fulfill its mission as ASEAN Chair in 2010.
