DUBAI, March 28 (Reuters) - United Arab Emirates energy minister Suhail al-Mazrouei on Monday told Emirati state news agency WAM that oil should not be withheld from any country because "the world is in dire need" of these supplies.

Al-Mazrouei added that OPEC+ will look at the supply and demand balance during the producer group's next meeting.
