Minister of State for Energy Affairs, HE Saad Sherida Al Kaabi, participated in the 22nd Ministerial Meeting of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF), held virtually from Algeria.

According to Minister Al Kaabi, Qatar remains fully engaged in supporting the Forum’s mission and looks forward to the 6th GECF Summit in Doha in November 2021, as well as to the Ministerial Meeting and Extraordinary Ministerial Meeting that will precede it.

The minister also recognised the sincere efforts exerted by member countries of the Forum, and expressed gratitude to the host country Algeria, and to HE Abdelmadjid Attar, Minister of Energy of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria and President of the GECF Ministerial Meeting.

The GECF is a gathering of the world’s leading gas exporting countries, and was set up as an international governmental organisation to increase the level of coordination and strengthen collaboration among member countries. GECF also seeks to build a mechanism for a more meaningful dialogue between gas producers and consumers for the sake of stability and security of supply and demand in the global natural gas markets.

Doha will host the 6th GECF Heads of State Summit on 18 November 2021, as well as the Ministerial Meeting and the Extraordinary Ministerial Meeting on 16 November 2021.
