Qatar snubs India's LNG contracts plea

摘要

QATAR has turned down a request from the Indian government to renegotiate long-term supply contracts involving 8.5 million tonnes per annum of liquefied natural gas. The gas-rich nation's Energy Minister Saad Sherida al Kaabi said in New Delhi that Qatar would not be renegotiating long-term LNG deals with India. "We do not renegotiate existing contracts. Contracts are contracts for the duration we sign them. And we as businesses understand that sanctity of contract is very important for both sides," Kaabi told reporters in New Delhi.
