Fresh round of oil diplomacy on the cards India to host Caspian oil sellers and Asian oil buyers meet ENS ECONOMIC BUREAU Posted online: Wednesday, June 01, 2005 at 0000 hours IST NEW DELHI, MAY 31: India is all set to launch another round of oil diplomacy in mid-October. In its attempt to form an Asian oil community, India will host another meeting of central Asian oil producers with the four largest consumers of Asia —China, Korea, Japan and India. According to Petroleum Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar, ‘‘In the week beginning October 17, we propose to host the oil ministers from Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan to a meeting with the four prime Asian buyers.’’ In early January this year, Aiyar had staged a coup of sorts when he got major oil producers like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, UAE, Oman and Qatar together with prime Asian consumers India, China, Japan and Korea to give shape to a new regional forum that vowed to strengthen energy ties for ensuring stable energy supplies at reasonable prices. Now he wants the Caspian Sea producers to come on board the Pan-Asia community. ‘‘We are creating brotherhood in the Asian oil economies,’’ Aiyar said. On the agenda for the proposed meeting in mid-October is the setting up of an Asian oil market by evolving a marker crude that is produced and traded in the region. At present, the current practice is that oil is sold to Asians at a discount or premium to the benchmark price of North American or European market.
