The draft agreement being discussed at the meeting of the oil producing countries in Doha freezes oil production until October 1, 2016, he said. This version of agreement is favored by Saudi Arabia and Russia, al-Rumhi said.
The minister added that although the draft document does not stipulate any compulsory mechanisms and obligations to maintain oil production at the January level, in his view all attendees of the meeting would join it.
