New king says Saudi Arabia to keep oil and gas exploration, diversify economy

DUBAI (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's King Salman said on Tuesday that the kingdom would continue oil and gas exploration despite the fall in crude prices, and vowed to build a strong, diversified economy.

In a speech broadcast on state television, King Salman, who ascended the throne after the death of his brother King Abdullah in January, also said he had ordered a review of regulations to help eradicate corruption, and that he would not allow anyone to meddle with Saudi security and stability.
