At the event, PetroVietnam General Director Nguyen Vu Truong Son spoke highly of Petronas cooperation in carrying out joint projects.
Leaders of the two companies affirmed to make concerted efforts to seek solutions to difficulties, aiming to boost the efficiency of the existing projects while seeking new cooperation opportunities.
Regarding the proposal to buy gas from Malaysia, the two sides agreed major points in the negotiations of relevant trade agreements.
The event took place during a recent visit of PetroVietnam’s delegation to Malaysia to attend a ceremony celebrating the two Governments’ ratification of a ten-year extension of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for the PM3 Commercial Arrangement Area (CAA).
