The African Petroleum Producers’ Organization (APPO) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Qatar-based Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) to strengthen strategic cooperation in the petroleum industry.
APPO Secretary General Farid Ghezali and GECF Secretary General Philip Mshelbila signed the agreement on behalf of their respective organisations on July 20, 2026, at APPO’s headquarters in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo.
The signing ceremony was witnessed by Congo’s Minister of Hydrocarbons, Stev Simplice Onanga, who attended as the guest of honour.
The MoU aims to strengthen the GECF-APPO energy dialogue by promoting joint projects and other areas of mutual interest between the two organisations.
The Doha-based GECF represents the world’s leading gas-exporting countries and seeks to promote constructive dialogue between producers and consumers to enhance the stability and security of global gas supply and demand.
