"I think it is quite telling to see us on Monday coming out with not only our own extension of a [oil production cut of] million [barrels per day], but also with validation from the Russian side that they will do [a cut of] five hundred [500,000 barrels per day] from exports ... We worked hard with the seven independent sources verifying Russia's number. And they have committed to this exercise and they are going to be doing it on a monthly basis," Salman said.
