“The window is closing to shut the gaps. We’re making progress, however not quick sufficient and never satisfying sufficient,” Sultan Al Jaber, the Emirati oil boss who’s main the summit in Dubai, advised a late-night session.

“Now’s the time to place apart self-interest for the frequent curiosity,” Jaber mentioned.

“Now’s the time to point out most flexibility to seek out frequent floor. Now’s the time to shift gears and get to consensus,” he mentioned.

“I’m satisfied that there’s a balanced and bold package deal on the market that each one events can and will align round.”
