CAIRO, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Iraq's oil ministry on Thursday
denied media reports citing Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul Jabbar as
saying an agreement is imminent with the OPEC+ group over
increasing Iraq's crude oil exports, the ministry spokesman
said.
"The oil minister did not make these comments and did not
meet the newspaper's reporter," spokesman Asim Jihad told
Reuters, referring to state-owned daily newspaper Al-Sabah. The
comments were also carried by state news agency INA but have
since been deleted.
"Iraq is committed to the OPEC+ agreement and is working
with OPEC and non-OPEC producers on confronting the challenges
facing global oil markets, including the spread of COVID-19
which caused a decline in global oil demand," he said.
