Gas exporters to meet in Qatar on Wednesday
ABU DHABI. December 9. KAZINFORM The ninth ministerial forum of gas exporting countries will be held on Wednesday in the Qatari capital Doha; Kazinform refers to RIA Novosti.

Ministers of 11 countries making part of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF), a "gas equivalent" of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), will discuss ways to stabilize global prices on natural gas.
They will also consider candidacies for the post of the forum's secretary general.
Should the forum participants fail to come to an agreement, the secretary general, elected for a two-year term and entitled for reelection once, will be chosen from the list in the alphabetical order, which means an Algerian candidate could take the post; Kazinform cites RIA Novosti.
