Algeria is strengthening its leadership position within the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) as the global energy landscape undergoes significant changes. This commitment was underscored during a recent meeting in Doha, Qatar, between Algerian Minister of Energy and Mines, Mohamed Arkab, and GECF Secretary General, Mohamed Hamel. The discussions took place on the eve of the 27th GECF Ministerial Meeting.
The meeting provided a platform for in-depth discussions on the evolving dynamics of the global gas market, including future prospects in light of geopolitical challenges and shifts in supply and demand patterns. Minister Arkab and Secretary General Hamel also addressed a range of organizational and administrative matters related to the forum’s operations. They reviewed the strategic objectives of the GECF and explored ways to enhance its performance in supporting the stability of global energy markets, particularly for natural gas.
A key focus of the discussions was the crucial role of the GECF Gas Research Institute, headquartered in Algeria. The institute serves as a strategic platform for fostering scientific research, technological development, and innovation within the gas industry. It facilitates knowledge sharing and expertise exchange among member countries, contributing to the advancement of the sector.

Algeria’s ongoing support is viewed as vital for promoting cooperation and shared interests among member states.
Secretary General Hamel expressed his appreciation for Algeria’s leading role within the GECF, acknowledging its continuous contributions to advancing the organization’s work and fostering collaboration among member countries. He highlighted the significance of natural gas as a pivotal energy source in the global energy transition. The GECF plays a vital role in shaping the future of the gas industry and ensuring its sustainable development. Algeria’s commitment to the forum reinforces its position as a key player in the global energy market and a strong advocate for international cooperation in the gas sector. The collaborative efforts within the GECF are essential for navigating the complexities of the evolving energy landscape and securing a stable and sustainable future for the gas industry.
