NEW YORK, April 29. /TASS/. The United Arab Emirates' (UAE) decision to leave OPEC and OPEC+ is not related to Saudi Arabia's proposal on oil production cuts, UAE Energy Minister Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei said in an interview broadcast on CNBC. "This has nothing to do with any of our brothers or friends within the group. We've been working together for years. We have the highest respect for the Saudis for leading OPEC and OPEC+ as a major producer," he said when asked whether the UAE's withdrawal from OPEC and OPEC+ is linked to Saudi Arabia's proposal to cut oil production.
