Petroleum and Mineral Resources Minister Tarek el Molla on Friday met with his Bahraini counterpart Abdul Hussain Mirza.
Mirza is currently visiting Egypt to take part in the 95th meeting of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC), to kick off in Cairo on Sunday.
The Bahraini official praised the warm reception by Egypt, stressing the importance of such Arab get-together to support joint cooperation in the fields of oil, gas and petrochemicals.
OAPEC was founded on the basis of the agreement signed in Beirut, Lebanon, on January 9, 1968 between Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and (then) Libya.
In 1970 the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Algeria joined the Organization, followed by Syria and Iraq in 1972, Egypt in 1973, then Tunisia in 1982.
