Documents reveal Kwasi Kwarteng's undisclosed meetings with Saudi Arabian oil firms

CHANCELLOR Kwasi Kwarteng held undisclosed meetings with senior executives of Saudi Arabian firms when he was business secretary, according to documents obtained by The Guardian.

Documents acquired by the newspaper show the meetings occurred in January, when Kwarteng visited the kingdom for a two-day trip under his previous ministerial role. 

Documents released using the Freedom of Information Act (FoI) show Kwarteng held undisclosed meetings with the chief executive of Saudi Aramco, the world’s biggest oil producer, the chief executive of Sabic, the world’s fourth largest petrochemical company, and the chair of Alfanar Group, an industrial conglomerate.
