Russian, OPEC ministers to meet this week on oil output cuts
VIENNA — Russia’s energy minister says he will meet with OPEC oil ministers this week for talks expected to focus on production cuts aimed at driving up the price of crude.
Russia’s TASS news agency cited Alexander Novak as saying Tuesday that he will be at the meeting in Vienna.
Saturday’s talks will come less than a week after OPEC agreed to cut the cartel’s oil output for the first time since 2008 and said Russia would follow suit.
