Lavrov: OPEC+ format not to be destroyed

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that at present there is no reason to destroy the OPEC+ mechanism, since no one is interested in this.

He reminded that Washington addressed this topic "both to Saudi Arabia, and to the Emirates, to Qatar both in terms of oil and gas". "All the countries I have mentioned, as well as Venezuela and Iran, make it clear that when we consider issues related to the new participants in the oil market, we are all committed to the OPEC+ format, where quotas for each participant are discussed and agreed on the basis of consensus",TASS quotes Lavrov.

According to him, so far there is no reason to believe that this mechanism will be destroyed, since no one is interested in this.
