The United Arab Emirates’ decision to withdraw from OPEC ‌and OPEC+ was a sovereign and strategic choice ​based ⁠on a comprehensive assessment ‌of its production policy ‌and future capabilities, the UAE Energy Minister, Suhail Al Mazrouei, said on Saturday ‌in a post on X.

Mazrouei added ⁠that the move was not politically motivated and did not reflect divisions with partners.

The UAE announced late April that it was quitting OPEC on May ​1.

“It is not driven by political considerations, nor does it reflect ​any ‌division between the UAE and ‌its partners,” Mazrouei added.
