Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is set to host energy leaders from all over the world after the organizational committee of the World Petroleum Congress named Riyadh as the venue for the 25th edition of the event.
The event, which is held every three years, will bring together representatives from governments, other sectors, non-governmental organisations and international institutions to the kingdom’s capital.
The Riyadh event will follow the 24th edition of the conference, set to be held in Calgary, Canada, from Sept. 17 to 21, 2023.
WPC Director General Dr Pierce Riemer congratulated the Saudi Arabia for being selected to host the 25th edition of the congress in Riyadh, for its being the biggest oil-exporting country in the world and owning the one of the world’s biggest oil reserves, which highlights the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s importance globally and worthiness to host one of the most important meetings of energy in the world.
Riemer expressed aspiration to work with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to organize a successful congress in 2026 that matches the status of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in its capacity as a global pioneer in the energy field, in addition to its being among the most active economies in the world.
The World Petroleum Congress, along with its accompanying exhibition, is considered a prominent global event that brings together countries and international organizations every three years to enhance cooperation in energy fields and provide solutions to main challenges facing the development of this vital sector, where the congress and exhibition receive much attention from specialists and visitors. The 24th edition of the event is scheduled to be held in Calgary, Canada between September 17 and 21, 2023.
