MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said on Thursday he believed OPEC and its allies would reach an agreement when they discuss their global oil output deal at a meeting in Vienna.
Russia's Energy Ministry is still in talks with Russian oil companies about the output deal, Novak said, adding he planned to meet Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih at a G20 summit in Japan later this week.
"I think we will definitely agree, there will be a consolidated general decision," he told reporters when asked if he expected difficult talks at the Vienna meeting.
