Zanganeh: OPEC meeting in Algeria is only advisory

Iran's oil minister Bijan Zanganeh said that an informal meeting of members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries planned on the sidelines of the International Energy Forum in Algeria is only advisory and expectations should be modest.

"This is an advisory meeting and that's all we should expect from it," Bijan Zanganeh said before he left Tehran for Algiers.

"The talks among OPEC members in Algeria can be used for the OPEC summit in Vienna in November," Reuters cited him as saying.
