Farouq Hussein Al-ZankiChief Executive Officer

Dialoguewith CEO

The Arab region witnesses, since the beginning of the current year, exceptional political circumstances that have directly influenced the international oil markets. Certainly, the political escalation has renewed and instigated fears over a shortage in oil supplies. At the same time, fears, which have been caused by the humanitarian catastrophe of Fukuchema and tsunami northeast of Japan, increased over the possibility of providing safety and security of using nuclear energy which is considered a safe alternate for oil.Unequivocally, the long-term various anticipations about oil industry indicate that the entire world will depend on oil for long decades under the tangible shortage of providing alternatives which the big industrial countries rely on widely and economically. This consequently will fortify the status of the producing and exporting oil countries. However, these anticipations come at a time in which the incessant events in the Arab region necessitate renewing the infinite obligation epitomized in seeking seriously and constantly to meet the international markets’ needs from oil besides accomplishing investment projects to meet the world’s future needs from oil.In the same context, numerous conferences, forums and workshops are held in order to bolster the constructive dialogue between the producing and consumer countries of oil so that they cooperate positively to stabilize oil markets all over the world.Consequently, a covenant was signed two months ago roughly to reinforce dialogue between the producers and consumers during the celebration which International Energy Forum held recently to mark its 20th anniversary in participation of 86 countries. In addition, CERAWEEK conference 2011, which was held in USA in the beginning of the current year, tackled the future of energy and ways of bolstering common cooperation among the producing and consumer countries.Furthermore, the 4th Asian Ministerial Energy Roundtable Meeting, which was held recently in Kuwait, stressed further the necessity of fortifying the principle of cooperation and partnership among the producing and consumer countries to make the latter be sure that the producing countries are able to meet their obligations towards the international markets under the geopolitical tensions taking place all over the world currently.

The Finance sector's employees were bereaved by the demise of their col-league Aseel Al-Wattar whose charac-terizations were truly a good example for people. This grievous news pro-voked the feelings of her colleagues who condoled her demise through the following phrases:“I received the news of Aseel’s death grievously. Definitely, we got bereaved by losing a cherished sister who was a tangible example of the ideal employee in terms of good manner, tranquil tem-per and cooperation with all personnel. We beseech Allah, the Almighty, to be-stow His mercy upon her, domicile her in His paradise and bestow His oblivion upon her family.”Hadeel El-Rifaai“Aseel, the delicate girl whose voice was tranquil and low whenever we were talking to her about any of life business-es died. I do affirm that anyone dealt with her closely will realize how strong she was and how revered she is thanks to her commitment to the instructions of her religion. She was younger but wise. Thus, we cannot help entreating Allah, the Almighty, to lodge her in His para-dise and bestow His mercy upon her.”Abeer Al-MishariProphet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH), was quoted as saying, when his son Ibrahim died, “The heart gets sad and the eye wells forth and we are sorry for your demise, Ibrahim.” We are really brokenhearted for the demise of Aseel who was an example of good Muslim person. She was performing prayers in time and treating her col-leagues well and smilingly. Her heart never knew malice against any person. She was interested also in keeping in touch with her colleagues electronical-ly through sending religious SMS. We plead Allah, the Almighty, to put His mercy upon you.Saad Al-HassawiWe were acquainted tangibly with your

However, our only condolence is the fact that you are now in the eternal abode. We beg Allah, the Almighty, to lodge you in His paradise and make your grave one of the para-dise’s meadows.Laila Mustapha My letters fall down from the eyeballs of inkstands mourning the demise of Aseel who taught us through her tran-quil temper the meaning of solemnity. She taught us that smile is enough to acquire people’ hearts.Aseel was one of well-mannered persons who treat people gently. She was like the slight breeze in the place. She has a magic influence epitomized in mak-ing people respect her and appreciate her status wherever she was. Although I was not one of her close friends, I felt lonely after her demise.Definitely, words cannot express the good characterizations of Aseel particu-larly her good reputation which is wide-ly spread among her colleagues. How-ever, her smile will last and her memory

will last everywhere and every time.Good Aseel, it is regarded that all your colleagues are whispering about your good manners. They from one time re-member your thanking phrases when you receive your official duties; in ad-dition, they repeat from the other hand your encouragement phrases when you entreat Allah, the Almighty, to give them health. Believe me whenever they praise you, I wish I follow your ex-ample particularly your good spirit that penetrated all hearts.Your glances, Aseel, were sufficient to express what you mean without uttering a word. I did wish that I was one of your companions to recognize these glances closely.Your downfall was very austere even the condolence phrases were extremely melancholic. It is very difficult to coex-ist in this place without you and your perseverance. You caused a concrete gap by your demise. This gap cannot be filled by any rhetorical phrases. Even the language of noted men of letters is disable to introduce your good man-ners.You will be immortal in our hearts! I’m sure that you are listening, through your spirit, to each letter we write down about you, and you also smile shyly when you hear commendation as your usual habit.We beseech Allah, the Almighty, to lodge you in His paradise, Aseel. We really miss you. We entreat Allah, the Almighty, to bestow His oblivion and patience to your family and relatives.

Hanan Al-Jazzaf She was an example of morals. We be-seech Allah, the Almighty, to give her accommodation better than hers and family better than hers. We bid Him to accommodate her in His paradise and keep her away from the torture of the grave.Hussain Al-Hamdan
