“We don’t need any official response,” he said in a news conference, referring to whether the country would seek consent from the oil major to renegotiate the terms, as outlined in the 2016 Production Sharing Agreement.
“We respect the sanctity of contracts,” Ali said, adding that his government was keen on ensuring investors not to pull out from investments in the nation.
ExxonMobil Guyana President Alistair Routledge had already publicly stated that there would be no renegotiation. His comments were in response to plans by the opposition to do so if it wins the 2025 general elections.
