We will always prioritize energy security, adhere to a bottom-line mentality and a systematic approach, and focus on three key areas. First, we will ensure the "development" and "reservation" of fossil fuels. Coal is our greatest source of stable energy supply, and we must base our efforts on this national condition to build strong coal bases. For oil and gas, we will increase domestic exploration and development efforts, stabilize oil production, and increase natural gas supply. At the same time, we will strengthen energy reserves, improve the oil and gas reserve system, enhance coal-to-oil and gas production capacity and technology reserves, and improve coal production capacity reserves. Only in this way can we ensure unwavering security. Second, we will significantly increase the supply of non-fossil energy. Third, we will expand our network of energy cooperation partners.June 26 - On the morning of June 26, President Xi Jinping met with Tariq Rahman, Prime Minister of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh, who was on an official visit to China, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Despite dismal economic signals from central bankers and a decrease in equities prices, oil prices increased in early Asian trade on Wednesday on Saudi Arabia's proposal that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) may consider a production cut.


U.S. crude prices rose 34 cents to $95.23 per barrel at 00:16 GMT, while Brent crude futures rose 51 cents to $101.73 per barrel.


Wednesday marked a three-week high for both benchmark crude oil contracts after the Saudi energy minister hinted at a possible supply cut.


Later, OPEC sources told Reuters that any cut by OPEC and its allies, known collectively as OPEC+, is expected to coincide with the return of Iranian oil to the market if Tehran obtains an international nuclear deal.


Iran reported receiving a response from the United States over the European Union's "final" language for resurrecting Tehran's 2015 nuclear agreement with major powers.


Ahead of Friday's U.S. Federal Reserve meeting, traders are seeking to predict whether the central bank will stop rate hikes or continue aggressive until it reaches its 2% inflation target.


Official numbers released on Wednesday suggested a sluggish demand for gasoline, which augurs a severe decline in economic activity.
