OPEC and non-OPEC participating countries reaffirmed the Declaration of Cooperation and the overall crude production level agreed at the 38th ministerial meeting, extending it through 31 December 2026. They approved a mechanism to assess members' maximum sustainable capacity to set 2027 baselines and scheduled the next ministerial meeting for June 2026.
