Dear friends, my colleagues from the Oil and Gas Ministry of India, I first want to express my deepest gratitude for my new friend, the forthcoming Minister Puri for allowing me, to give me the opportunity to be part of your team, your ministry in paying a farewell to my good friend and the long term time collaborator, His Excellency Bradman Burdan, as the Minister of Patrolman and Natural Gas in India, he was committed to the energy security of his country and to the long standing partnership with Saudi Arabia in the energy sector, the kingdom has always valued its historical relationship with India, which has been enhanced by recent visits and at the highest level.

I certainly will miss my regular contact with my friend over energy issues, but feel sure we will meet again and talk again in his new capacity as a minister of education. It just so happened that I have been honored in the last two years of being the head of the board of trustees for a very important university in Saudi Arabia called King Fahad University of Petroleum and Minerals, and I also chair the board of trustees of KAPSARC, one of our main research institutions when it comes to energy policies and what have you. So certainly, I would reach out to you and certainly, I could see ways and means of having to continue our collaboration, and be it in a different area of collaboration. We owe it to our two countries that we do not leave any stone that is not turned to ensure that we, the two countries, continue this partnership.

I actually must add, continue our strategic partnership and take it to the levels that we all are aspiring for. I can not think of any other country on planet Earth, more than India, where we have a synergy, a total synergy with, we have our common ambitions and we also share one good factor; youth and ambitious youth. And we owe to the youth and we should enable to youth that all of us can collaborate in bringing our well-being together to its best of the ambitions that we all aspire to achieve. I imposed on myself in this occasion, but because I feel dear and near to all of you, I wish you permit me for considering myself as just another member of your family, and we will see you again, and I hope I could visit India very soon, thank you.
