Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of OPEC's monitoring committee ministerial meeting in Jeddah, Barkindo said: “We do not have any price object, not as OPEC and not in this joint endeavour with non-OPEC."
"Price is not our objective and our objective remains restoring stability on a sustainable basis and in the interest of not only us as producers but also us as consumers," the National cited him as saying.
OPEC Secretary-General stressed that members of the oil producers group were friends of the United States and have a vested interest in its growth and prosperity.
