The 27th GECF Ministerial Meeting
An Annual Gathering of Global Energy Leaders
The GECF is an intergovernmental organisation that provides a framework for exchanging experience and information among its member countries.
As the gathering of the world's leading gas exporting countries, the GECF seeks to build a mechanism for a meaningful dialogue between gas producers and consumers in order to improve the stability and security of supply and demand in gas markets around the world.
With 20 member countries as of 2025, the GECF enjoys a prominent position on global energy markets and among international energy organizations. Together, they represent 72% of the world's gas reserves, 44% of the marketed production, and 56% of pipeline exports. Moreover, GECF member countries collectively account for more than half of the world liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports (52%).
