And here comes the role of universities and research centers, such as the King Abdullah Center for Petroleum Studies and Research Center that you are inaugurating today, he said.

In light of the Kingdom’s leading and significant role in the global energy market and the significance of oil to the national economy, the Government directed the Saudi Aramco to establish a center specialized in the studies of oil, and of energy in general, he said, adding that this center received significant support from the late King Abdullah ibn Abdulaziz, may Allah have mercy on his soul, and still receives the same level of support from the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman ibn Abdulaziz, he added.
