Key Quotes:
Extending cooperation would convince the world that coordination among producers was "here to stay".
"We shouldn't limit our efforts to 2018 - we need to be talking about a longer framework of cooperation. I am talking about extending the framework that we started, which is the declaration of cooperation, beyond 2018.”
"This doesn't necessarily mean sticking barrel by barrel to the same limits or cuts, or production targets country by country that we signed up to in 2016, but assuring stakeholders, investors, consumers and the global community that this is something that is here to stay. And we are going to work together."
