He emphasized that the company is “faithful and will not lie” to the country, asserting, “We are not criminals and we are not thieves. We will uphold our dignity to serve this nation.” Additionally, he noted that the oil and gas industry is in a precarious state, mentioning that there are matters he is aware of but cannot disclose publicly for now.
