At a meeting in Aomori, Japan, the Group of Eight rich nations as well as India, China and South Korea on Sunday had said that there was an "urgent need" to boost global oil production.
The decision to hold an oil conference was taken by the Saudi Council of Ministers, chaired by King Abdullah in Jeddah yesterday, the official Saudi press agency said.
"Current oil prices are unjustifiable in terms of petroleum facts and market fundamentals," the Cabinet said, adding that the market has sufficient supply and an increasing commercial inventory.
"Saudi Arabia will coordinate with the OPEC and other major producers to ensure adequate supply in both the present and the future," the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) quoted the Cabinet as saying.
"The Kingdom will also work to prevent oil prices from rising in an unjustified and abnormal manner, affecting the international economy, especially the economies of developing countries," he added.
