Riyadh King Khalid International Airport has been attacked four times within a week, causing energy giants who were originally scheduled to attend two international oil conferences to gradually change lanes. The venue has become much quieter than in previous years.

BP announced that representatives affected by travel disruptions were unable to attend, and the CEOs of ExxonMobil, Total, and Shell also chose to withdraw. The World Petroleum Congress will open at the conference center located about 10 kilometers from the airport and last for 5 days; The International Energy Forum Ministerial Meeting was held on the same day, co hosted by Italy and attended remotely by ministers. The German Minister of Economy and Energy was stranded in Riyadh due to flight cancellations. Editor/Min Jing
