CLEAN: Saudis to host oil crisis talks

Saudi Arabia believes current oil prices are too high, affecting both consumers and its long-term interests as a major oil producer.

However, global oil market stability cannot rely solely on Saudi Arabia; it requires cooperation from other producers and better consumption management by consumer countries.
