Sri Lanka Invites Malaysia To Help Develop Oil Resources
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 28 (AP) - Sri Lanka's foreign minister said Sunday his country wants Malaysia's national petroleum company to help develop its oil and gas resources, the national news agency Bernama reported. Tyronne Fernando said Sri Lankan officials had begun early discussions with the state-owned Petroliam Nasional Bhd., or Petronas, for oil and gas exploration on the island-nation off the southern tip of India. "Petronas has a very good record of drilling oil and gas all over the world and our relations with Malaysia are extremely good," Fernando said in an interview with Bernama. Fernando, speaking during a two-day official visit, said he had also discussed the proposal with Malaysia's Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar. Petronas operates oil and gas fields and related businesses in about 25 countries.
