Saudi Aramco denies reports of sales talks with Chinese

摘要

Dubai-Saudi Aramco’s CEO Amin Nasser has dismissed speculation that the state oil giant is in talks with Chinese sovereign wealth funds, or any others, as an alternative strategy to its long-proposed listing on international markets slated for 2018. 'Saudi Aramco is not talking to the Chinese or others. We prepared our books and streamlined all the work necessary for listing. We evaluated, analyzed the different venues, the stock exchanges in different countries, there were many of them. All of that analysis is being reviewed to make a decision at a certain stage', Nasser told CNBC news in Riyadh.
