Delegations from five African countries are arriving in the Iranian capital Tehran for a global summit of Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) which is beginning today.

Nigeria, Algeria, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea and Libya will join other GECF members to review the current gas market outlook and discuss strategies for boosting production.

Other members of the organisation are Russia, Qatar, Bolivia, Iran, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, and the United Arab Emirates.

The GECF members account for 42% of global gas output, 70% of global gas reserves and 65% of global trade of liquefied natural gas, Press TV reports.
