Russian Energy Minister Novak Confirms Doha Oil Meeting
Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak on Wednesday confirmed that a meeting of OPEC and non-OPEC nations will be held in Doha on April 17 to discuss a possible deal on oil production freeze levels.
Novak told reporters that a joint statement on the oil production freeze deal - tentatively reached last month - would be probably agreed in Doha next month. Qatar is to send out invitations for the meeting.
So far, some 15 countries confirmed their participation, Novak said, adding that Iran had said earlier it was ready to join the meeting as well. Novak visited Tehran on Monday.
