The International Energy Forum (IEF) is an inter-governmental, non-profit international organization, established in 1991. The forum aims to foster greater mutual understanding and awareness of common energy interests among its members.
The IEF is the neutral facilitator of informal, open, informed and continuing global energy dialogue. Recognising their interdependence in the field of energy, the member countries of the IEF co-operate under the neutral framework of the Forum to foster greater mutual understanding and awareness of common energy interests in order to ensure global energy security.
At present 70 Member Countries of the Forum are signatories to the IEF Charter, which outlines the framework of the global energy dialogue through this inter-governmental arrangement. The IEF member countries account for more than 90 percent of global oil and gas supply and demand.
The International Energy Forum is a Secretariat organization, headquartered in the Diplomatic Quarter of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
