RIYADH, April 2 (Xinhua) -- Saudi Arabia called on Thursday for an urgent meeting for OPEC+ group and other countries, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

The meeting aims at reaching a fair agreement to restore the desired balance of oil markets, it said.

SPA said that Saudi Arabia made efforts during the past period to reach an agreement within OPEC+ group to restore equilibrium in the oil market, as it has garnered the support of as many as 22 countries within OPEC+ group, but it was not possible to reach an agreement due to lack of consensus.

Meanwhile, the agency also reported on Thursday a phone call between the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud and US President Donald Trump, in which they reviewed the situations of energy markets in the world.
