Azerbaijan to take part in OPEC’s meeting in December
The country actively participates in consultations aimed at ensuring the balance in the market and increasing the prices, noted the ministry.
In particular, Natig Aliyev held phone conversations with Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak, and Baku demonstrates its support to this process, according to the ministry.
The previous meeting was scheduled for Nov. 28. However, the meeting was suspended due to the refusal of Saudi Arabia to take part in it.
OPEC agreed on Nov. 30 to reduce output by around 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) beginning in January in a bid to reduce global oversupply and prop up prices.
It hopes non-OPEC countries will contribute another 600,000 bpd to the cut. Russia has said it will reduce output by around 300,000 bpd.
