AMMAN — Algerian Ambassador to Jordan Mohamed Bourouba on Tuesday refuted that his country had “at any point” offered to provide Jordan with natural gas at preferential prices.

The Ministry of Energy had asked Algeria, in 2016, to sign an agreement of understanding in the field of energy, Bourouba noted, adding that the two countries’ energy ministers signed the accord on the sidelines of an international conference held in Jordan in the aforementioned year, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

Bourouba said that as an ambassador his duties are to work on the enhancement of bilateral relations adding that he is neither “an expert nor a decision maker” when it comes to making such an offer or discussing it.
