Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has affirmed that crude oil supplies for domestic refineries remain stable and petrol supplies for the coming months are secure, while chairing a meeting in Hanoi on March 17.
The meeting discussed measures to safeguard national energy security amid the impact of the Middle East conflict on the global energy supply chain.
PM Chinh said petrol prices have been kept under control and aligned with global trends, while overall energy supplies have continued to meet production and consumption needs without major fluctuations.
Noting that the situation is likely to remain complex in the coming period, the Prime Minister urged ministries and relevant agencies to focus on six key objectives: preventing energy shortages for production and consumption; avoiding disruptions in energy supply chains; maintaining political stability and social order; restructuring energy production and distribution to adapt to changing conditions; strengthening strategic energy reserves; and diversifying markets, products and supply sources.
He also assigned major tasks to ministries, sectors, localities and enterprises to help achieve these objectives.
