They have given a very specific and strong commitment for cooperation.

We want to participate in Saudi Arabia's refining business. We want their help in meeting our energy requirement --there are crisscross interests involved.

On the basis of assessments (Indian and Chinese) companies will make, we will cooperate and we will compete. Hopefully we will cooperate more than we compete.

We are at the pioneer stage. We are taking the first footsteps of cooperation.
