The GECF comprises of 11 member states: Algeria, Bolivia, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Iran, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Russia, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela. It also includes eight observers: Angola, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Malaysia, Mozambique, Norway, Peru and the UAE.
Together, these states are home to 72 per cent of the global proven natural gas reserves, 55 per cent of exports by pipeline and 50 per cent of LNG exports.
El Molla stressed Egypt's keenness on establishing a constructive global dialogue among member states focusing on the key role of natural gas in the transition from fossil-based energy to zero-carbon energy.
Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel and is affordable, the minister noted.
The GECF was established in 2001 and it was transformed into an international governmental organisation headquartered in Doha, Qatar in 2008.
