Venezuela's Maduro says post-pandemic recovery requires OPEC+ deal

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Monday said an economic recovery after the coronavirus pandemic subsides will depend on a deal by the OPEC+ grouping of the world's largest oil exporters to guarantee "fair prices" for crude.

Maduro said he told Russia's new ambassador to Caracas he believed it was important Russia and OPEC countries reach a deal to stabilize oil markets.
