Members admitted afterward include Qatar (1961), Indonesia (1962), Libya (1962), Abu Dhabi (1967), Algeria (1969), Nigeria (1971), Ecuador (1973), Angola (2007), Equatorial Guinea (2017), and the Republic of the Congo (2018). The United Arab Emirates--which includes Abu Dhabi (the largest of the emirates), Dubai, ʻAjmān, Sharjah, Umm al-Qaywayn, Raʼs al-Khaymah, and Al-Fujayrah--assumed Abu Dhabi's membership in the 1970s. Gabon, which had joined in 1975, withdrew in January 1995 but rejoined in 2016. Ecuador suspended its OPEC membership from 1992 until 2007, while Indonesia suspended its membership beginning in 2009 and briefly rejoined in 2016. Qatar, during a prolonged blockade implemented by other OPEC countries, terminated its membership in January 2019; headquarters, first located in Geneva, was moved to Vienna in 1965)
