Iraq will not leave OPEC, but is seeking a fair output quota within the oil producer group, Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi said in an interview with Saudi-owned Al Arabiya TV, according to his office.

Reuters reported in an exclusive in June that Iraq, the group's second-largest producer after Saudi Arabia and one of its five founding members, had considered leaving OPEC if the group did not allow Baghdad to ​significantly increase oil production.
