Description | Qatar will withdraw from the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) with effect from January 1, 2019, HE the Minister of State for Energy Affairs Saad Sherida al-Kaabi said Monday.
Qatar joined Opec in 1961, one year after the organisation's establishment. Currently, the Vienna-headquartered bloc comprises 15 oil-producing and exporting countries.
Al-Kaabi said, “Our strategy is to remain focused on its core business and activities in Qatar and to enhance Qatar’s international standing as the world’s leading natural gas producer.” |
