Colombia will not attend a meeting in Vienna on April 23 between OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers to discuss possible cooperation on stabilizing the oil market, the Mines and Energy Ministry said. Spokeswoman Silvia Jaramillo said Energy Minister Guillermo Perry did not plan to participate. The initiative to invite at least seven non-OPEC Third World producers was taken by the price committee of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries earlier this month. OPEC President Rilwanu Lukman said the countries invited would be Mexico, Colombia, Oman, China, Angola, Egypt, Malaysia and possibly the Soviet Union.
