CAIRO — Iraq supports the call for an OPEC+ emergency meeting to restore oil market balance and stop oil prices collapsing, an oil ministry spokesman said in a statement on Thursday.

The statement added that Iraq is confident that a positive agreement can be reached at the next OPEC meeting to help restore balance in oil markets.
