Rosneft says ex-Qatari energy minister re-elected as company chairman
MOSCOW, July 21 (Reuters) - Russia's largest oil producer Rosneft ( opens new tab said on Monday that former Qatari energy minister Mohammed Bin Saleh Al-Sada had been re-elected as company chairman.
One of the key tasks for Al-Sada, who was first elected in June 2023, will be navigating Rosneft through the latest sanctions imposed by the European Union.
Rosneft called the sanctions, which also targeted India's Nayara Energy refinery in which it has a stake, "unjustified and illegal". It said the EU move against Nayara directly threatened India's energy security.
Al-Sada was Qatar's minister of energy and industry, and chairman of the board of Qatar Petroleum (now QatarEnergy) from 2011 to 2018.
