International Energy Agency to offer China room in strategic talks

The initiative to form an "association" between the West's energy watchdog, combining 28 industrialised economies, and non-members is aimed at "creating a closer alliance on energy security, environmental sustainability and data sharing," a source at the Paris-based agency said.
