The participating countries include: Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman.

The move is part of their collective commitment to support oil market stability, the statement said.

The countries will continue to closely monitor and assess market conditions, and in their continuous efforts to support market stability, they reaffirmed the importance of adopting a cautious approach and retaining full flexibility to increase, pause or reverse the phase out of the voluntary production adjustments, including reversing the previously implemented voluntary adjustments announced in November 2023, a statement said.
