Russian Energy Minister to Take Part in Russia-OPEC Energy Dialogue on Monday
The Russia-OPEC Energy Dialogue is an annual event attended by high-level officials from the Russian Foreign Ministry and OPEC and focused on short-term oil market developments, as well as medium- to long-term prospects.

OPEC agreed in late September to cut its oil production for the first time in eight years. The output ceiling was set at 32.5-33 million barrels a day for the whole cartel. Further details of the deal are due to be unveiled at the group’s meeting in November.

Russia, which is among the world’s leading oil producers, however not a member of OPEC, expressed its will to uphold the agreement.

The September agreement was reached against the backdrop of decline in oil prices, which have dropped from some $110 a barrel to values below $50 since mid-2014.
