Three main reasons can account for it. One is a contending concern of energy security that constrains energy cooperation between energy producing countries and energy consuming countries. The second is energy diplomacy with self-help logic as the main principle, which discourages BRICS countries from taking collective actions to secure their energy security. The third one is the international energy system that conditions BRICS countries to participate in the international energy cooperation. As a result, multilateral energy cooperation is of secondary importance in the agenda of BRICS countries, and the degree of their involvement in global energy cooperation is relatively low.展开更多

The energy shortage is not a general shortage but a structural imbalance. In recent years, China's dependence on foreign oil supplies keeps increasing to meet the needs of China's rapid economic growth. China's top leadership, for this goal, has committed itself to energy diplomacy and vigorously promoted China's energy cooperation with Middle East oil-producing countries. In the current conditions, carrying out energy cooperation with the Middle East oil-producing countries is inevitable and beneficial to China’s security. China and the Middle East oil-producing countries have maintained friendly and cooperative relations: mutual political, economic complementarities and cultural fusion, which create a favorable environment for cooperation for extracting and removing the Middle East oil. As for the problems and difficulties exposed in carrying out energy cooperation in the Middle East, China should bravely face them and seriously resolve them.展开更多
