Opec members may call an extraordinary meeting to discuss oil prices if they reach consensus at an informal gathering in Algiers this month, Opec Secretary-General Mohammed Barkindo said during a visit to Algeria.
Maduro, who was speaking at the end of a summit of the Non-Aligned Movement on Margarita Island, Venezuela, said a deal was imminent. "We had a long bilateral meeting with Rouhani. We're close to a deal between Opec producer countries and non-Opec," Maduro told a news conference.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who attended the summit, said Tehran supported any move to stabilise the global oil market and lift prices, according to the Iranian Oil Ministry news agency, Shana.
Venezuela has been seeking an oil deal for years as its state-led economy reels under low oil prices, and has often said it was close to reaching an agreement.
Opec members will meet on the sidelines of the International Energy Forum, which groups producers and consumers, in Algeria from September 26 to 28. Non-Opec producer Russia is also attending the forum.
The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries will probably revive talks on freezing oil production levels when it meets non-Opec nations in Algeria, sources have told Reuters. - Reuters
